    A feedback technique to compensate for the temperature effect on the output signal of the linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) without losing the sensitivity is presented in this paper. The proposed technique is based on the use of a voltage-controlled amplifier to scale the amplitude of the excitation signal for temperature compensation. The proposed feedback technique provides the proportional-plus-integral control action to minimize the error caused by the temperature variation. The proportional-plus-integral action is realized using the integral scheme in the proposed technique. The peak amplitude of the LVDT output signal is sampled by the sample-and-hold circuit (SHC) to obtain the feedback and displacement signals, where the control signal of the SHC is provided by the LVDT output signal. The proposed LVDT temperature compensation technique is emphasized in terms of simple configuration and low cost. Note that the proposed technique is suitable for signal conditioners embedded in smart sensors and smart materials. The performance of the proposed technique is confirmed by experimental implementation using commercially available devices. The maximum error of the core displacement signal can be reduced from 6.52% for the uncompensated scheme to 0.098% for the compensated scheme at the ambient temperature of 70 °C.

    A high-accuracy resolver-to-linear signal converter for the measurement of angular displacement is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter comprises two sections: a demodulator and linear shaper. In the first section, the demodulator makes use of the sample-and-hold circuit (SHC) to sample the peak amplitude of the resolver signal. The control signal of the SHC is provided from the resolver signals instead of the excitation signal used in traditional approaches. The proposed demodulator requires no analogue multiplier and low-pass filter. Therefore, the fast response time of the proposed demodulator is achieved. In the second section, the linear shaper consists of the inverse-sine function scheme together with a switched-gain amplifier to produce the linear signal proportional to the shaft angle. The hyperbolic tangent characteristic of the operational transconductance amplifier is utilised to realise the inverse-sine function scheme. The proposed technique requires one phase of the resolver signal to obtain the linear signal. Therefore, the position error caused by amplitude imbalance between the two resolver signals is avoided. The performances of the proposed converter are discussed in detail and demonstrated by an experimental implementation using commercial devices. The experimental results show that the maximum relative error and response time for the excitation frequency of 3 kHz are measured as 0.06% and 0.11 ms, respectively.
