Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for detecting a position, comprising the steps of: producing two-phase sinusoidal wave signals having a 90.degree.-spatial phase difference therebetween upon movement of a moving object; detecting the current voltage V.sub.a and V.sub.b of the two-phase sinusoidal wave signals and calculating a value of .alpha. making a value of V zero, given by V=V.sub.a .multidot.cos.alpha.-V.sub.b .multidot.sin.alpha.; determining the value of .alpha. so that polarities of sin.alpha. and cos.alpha. for the calculated .alpha. coincide with those of V.sub.a and V.sub.b, respectively; and detecting a moving position of the moving object by using the value of .alpha. determined in the preceding step as absolute position data within 1 cycle of the 2-phase signals. According to the above method for detecting a position, the absolute position of a moving object can be detected with a high resolution.
