CA 2161961

In an apparatus for indicating the angular position of a rotatable member, a drive coil (51) is provided with its axis corresponding to the axis of rotation of the rotatable member. A coil (65) is wound around the rotatable member, and a capacitor (66) is provided in the coil (65) to form an LC resonant circuit. The coil (65) on the rotatable member is wound so that application of an alternating magnetic field to the drive coil (51) induces a resonance in the LC circuit which is constant for all angular positions of the rotatable member. Pick-up coils (53, 55) ace provided such that the planes of these coils and the drive coil (51) are orthogonal. The resonance of the LC circuit produces signals in the output coils (53, 55) which depend upon the angular position of the rotatable member. The signals may be processed to determine that angular position, and the processing is simplified with this arrangement of output coils since the signals produced therein are quadrature signals.
