Abstract
An electric machine (e.g., motor or generator) for an electric drive system of an electric vehicle is adapted to be coupled to wheels of the vehicle for conversion between stored electrical energy and rotation of the wheels. A resolver is coupled to the electric machine having a rotor rotating with the electric machine, the resolver responding to an excitation signal to produce a position signal. A controller is coupled to the resolver to receive the position signal and coupled to the electric machine to control the conversion. The controller generates the excitation signal at a variable frequency selected as a function of an operating point of the electric machine to avoid harmonic noise peaks propagating at the electric machine. Consequently, the position signal is relatively less affected by electromagnetic noise.
