1. An N-phase variable reluctance resolver apparatus, N being an odd integer greater than or equal to three, the N-phase variable reluctance resolver apparatus comprising:
a stator comprising:
N number of coil-poles that are positioned at equal intervals around the inside of the stator and are referred to as odd coil-poles;
additional N number of coil-poles that are positioned paired with the N odd coil-poles, wherein each of the additional N coil-poles is located symmetrically at 180 degrees relative to its corresponding each of the N odd coil-poles, wherein the additional N number of coil-poles are referred to as even coil-poles; and
three types of coils including a primary coil, a sine signal sensing coil, and a cosine signal sensing coil, which are wound at each of the N odd and N even coil-poles, wherein all primary coils are wired with the same number of coil turns, but with alternating winding polarities between the odd and even coil-poles, wherein the number of turns and winding polarities for the sine signal and cosine signal sensing coils are determined by sine synthesis and cosine synthesis coefficients of a N-phase zero-force (ZF) transform, respectively,
wherein coil turns ratios of the sine signal sensing and cosine signal sensing coils relative to the primary coil on a pair of odd and even coil-poles at position n (1≤n≤N) are determined by absolute values of the corresponding sine synthesis and cosine synthesis coefficients at position n (1≤n≤N) of the N-phase ZF transform, respectively,
wherein coil-winding polarities of the sine signal and the cosine signal sensing coils on a pair of odd and even coil-poles at position n (1≤n≤N) are determined by signs of the corresponding sine synthesis and cosine synthesis coefficients at position n (1≤n≤N) of the N-phase ZF transform, respectively,
a rotor comprising:
a lobe defining at least one electrical period on the stator over one mechanical turn of the rotor.
