• A new closed-loop converter for sinusoidal encoders - Preliminary results 

      Ben-Brahim, Lazhar; Benammar, Mohieddine; Mahran, Ahmed; Alhomsi, Ahmed ( IEEE , 2009 , Conference Paper)
      Sinusoidal position transducers provide accurate and reliable representation of the mechanical position of their shafts. The sine/cosine transducers signals may be used in open loop or closed loop arrangements for the ...
    • A new fast tracking resolver for mechanical angle measurement 

      Benammar, Mohieddine; Gonzales, Antonio S. P. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2013 , Conference Paper)
      The resolver is a mechanical angle and rotational speed transducer that operates as rotary transformer; its two stator windings are excited with sine and cosine AC signals and its rotor winding produces a sinusoidal signal ...
    • A new tracking technique for mechanical angle measurement 

      Al-Emadi, Nasser; Ben-Brahim, Lazhar; Benammar, Mohieddine ( Elsevier , 2014 , Article)
      Resolvers and other types of sine/cosine encoders are used for measurement of mechanical angles. These devices produce quadrature signals in the form of sine and cosine of the unknown angle, and require converters to extract ...
    • A novel resolver converter based on a modified tracking method 

      Benammar, Mohieddine; Gonzales, Antonio S.P. ( IEEE , 2013 , Conference Paper)
      Resolvers are robust and reliable transducers, working as rotary transformers, and are used for mechanical angle measurement. In the present work, the two stator windings of the resolver are excited with sine and cosine ...
    • A new PLL method for resolvers 

      Ben-Brahim, Lazhar; Benammar, Mohieddine ( IEEE , 2010 , Conference Paper)
      This paper describes a novel implementation of the classical PLL closed loop method without using VCO, DAC, counter and look-up tables. The proposed method makes use of the excitation signal of the resolver to estimate the ...
