It is made up of a glass disc with a suitable number of concentric traces, each having alternated opaque and transparent zones. All traces are illuminated by a LED from one side of the disc. On the opposite side, the light beam is modulated by the disc traces and, after passing through a collimating slit, is collected by a photodiode array (a photodiode is provided per each trace). From photo- generated current signals, the information corresponding to the angular position is extracted. Two types of optical rotary encoders are available, namely absolute and incremental encoders [1]. An absolute encoder measures the angular position at any time, independently of the rotation speed of the disc; the number of traces is equal to the number of resolution bits. On the other hand, in an incremental encoder a pulse is generated each time a transparent zone passes above the collimating slit and, therefore, each time the angle of rotation chang
