  2. Incremental encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

    An incremental encoder employs a quadrature encoder to generate its A and B output signals. The pulses emitted from the A and B outputs are quadrature-encoded, meaning that when the incremental encoder is moving at a constant velocity, the A and B waveforms are square waves and there is a 90 degree phase difference between A and B .

  3. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to analog or digital output signals. [1] There are two main types of rotary encoder: absolute and incremental. The output of an absolute encoder indicates the current shaft position, making it an angle ...

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Incremental_Encoder

    The interface keeps track of position by counting encoder pulses. It counts up when the quadrature phase difference is positive and down when the difference is negative, or vice versa. To do this, interfaces employ a quadrature decoder to convert the A and B pulses into direction and count enable signals, which in turn control an up/down counter.

  5. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-phase_and_quadrature...

    The two amplitude-modulated sinusoids are known as the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, which describes their relationships with the amplitude- and phase-modulated carrier. [ A ] [ 2 ] Or in other words, it is possible to create an arbitrarily phase-shifted sine wave, by mixing together two sine waves that are 90° out of phase in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature

    Quadrature encoder, a device that detects mechanical position changes and direction of movement; Illusionistic ceiling painting, sometimes called quadrature after the Italian term, quadratura; La Quadrature du Net (Squaring of the Net in French), a French advocacy group that promotes digital rights and freedoms of citizens

  8. Linear encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_encoder

    Optical encoders are the most accurate of the standard styles of encoders, and the most commonly used in industrial automation applications. When specifying an optical encoder, it's important that the encoder have extra protection built in to prevent contamination from dust, vibration and other conditions common to industrial environments.

  9. QAM (television) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAM_(television)

    QAM is a digital television standard using quadrature amplitude modulation. It is the format by which digital cable channels are encoded and transmitted via cable television providers. QAM is used in a variety of communications systems such as Dial-up modems and WiFi.
