Abstract

A linear variable displacement transducer (LVDT) has a core connected to an actuator such as a torque motor. The outputs of the LVDT are demodulated and subtracted to provide a displacement signal which is compared with a desired displacement to provide closed loop control of the torque motor. The desired displacement is formed by multiplying a demand signal by the sum of the demodulated LVDT outputs so as to provide temperature compensation.
