Abstract
A position sensor generates a signal representative of the angular position and, if desired, angular velocity of a rotating object using only a single circular track and plural brushes that ride on the track when the object rotates. The single circular track can have plural segments, and the sensor can generate more than one signal cycle per revolution.
