<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method (600) for contactlessly measuring multiple shaft parameters. <P>SOLUTION: The method includes a step (602) of magnetically encoding multiple sections of the shafts (12, 52, 102, 302) using pulsed currents. The method also includes a step (604) of sensing a magnetic field of the encoded sections of the shaft using multiple sensors arranged circumferentially about the shaft. Further, the method includes a step (606) of generating a spectrum of periodical variations based on sensed magnetic field of the encoded sections (64, 66, 68, 70) of the shaft during rotation and a step (608) of determining multiple parameters based on recurrences of patterns of the spectra. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
