Abstract

A rotatable disk having a plurality of calibration segments and at least one marker along the peripheral portion thereof is provided while a stationary pick-up provided adjacent the disk for generating a first signal indicative of calibration segments and a second signal indicative of a reference position of the rotation of the disk. The frequency of the first signal is increased in order to accurately measure the rotational angle from the reference position.
