Encoder vs Resolvers_ input-output signal

Resolvers can replace encoders only if the control device supports sine/cosine signals and is designed for harsh conditions. The accuracy of a resolver is influenced by the number of poles on its stator, but it typically remains lower than that of encoders. Encoders use quadrature digital signals for easy integration, while resolvers require additional conversion to digital signals for compatibility with industrial systems.

 As resolvers have an analog signal, they can replace encoders only when the control device can

receive sine/cosine signals and have similar hardware. In other hand, they need to be used in conditions
of a high level of vibration, temperatures over 120 degrees Celsius, contamination, and mechanical
shocks.
 Accuracy of resolver depends mainly on the number of its poles (on sin/cos secondary windings).
The more poles are located on its stator, the more accurate its signal can be. However, this is most
often still less than on the equivalent encoder.
 Encoders most often work with a quadrature digital signal. It will be enough to connect them to a
controller, and they will transmit values to it. Resolvers work with an analog signal. For their
integration into some industrial systems with a digital signal, additional Resolver-to-Digital conversion
RDC (can be implemented in specific IC, or software) or DSP converters are needed.

Q - For a sine wave AC supply input on the rotor of a resolver rotates with α angle, draw the output waves
of its COSINE and SINE winding?
