← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when quadrature encoder pulses overlap?
A)Velocity/position data becomes ambiguous✓
B)Increased positional accuracy results
C)Communication speed decreases linearly
D)Motor torque output is maximized
💡 Explanation
With heavily overlapping pulses, the intended phase relationship is lost; therefore, direction and magnitude are unresolvable because the position calculation depends on the phase difference, rather than creating inherently ambiguous positional data otherwise.
