Monitoring rotating machine position using a resolver having an input primary and one or more output secondaries magnetically coupled to the input primary. The method includes exciting the input primary with an exciter input signal, causing a first scaled version of the exciter input signal to appear in a first output secondary. Output from the first output secondary is collected. The collected output from the first output secondary is demodulated to recover gain from the input primary.

Complex baseband rotary resolver

Systems and methods for operating a motorized system. The methods comprise by a circuit: receiving a first position signal generated by a gimbal resolver coupled to a load, a second position signal generated by a first motor encoder coupled to a shaft of a first motor, and a third position signal generated by a second motor encoder coupled to a shaft of a second motor; converting the second and third position signals into a velocity signal specifying a scaled velocity of the load; converting the velocity signal into a fourth position signal specifying a position of the load; combining the first position signal and the fourth position signal to generate a fifth position signal representing a stable position of the load; and using the fifth position signal to control operations of the first and second motors.
