US Patent 11788867 Incremental encoder position interpolation

An interpolated position of an incremental encoder is provided. A first signal and a second signal having a quadrature relationship are received from the incremental encoder. A coarse position of the incremental encoder at a first time is produced using the quadrature relationship between the first signal and the second signal. An arcsine or arccosine value based on the first signal at the first time is determined using a lookup table and a fine position of the incremental encoder is calculated using the determined value. The interpolated position of the incremental encoder, based on both the coarse position and the fine position, is then provided.
