Position sensing device

A position sensing device for measuring a position, the position sensing device comprising:

• a plurality of sensors including at least a first sensor and a second sensor, each of the plurality of sensors being arranged to produce a respective sense signal such that the first sensor produces at least a first sense signal and the second sensor produces at least a second sense signal, each of the respective sense signals produced by the plurality of sensors being a function of an input phase representative of a position to be measured,
• a combiner circuit arranged to receive each of the sense signals produced by the plurality of sensors including the first sense signal and the second sense signal and to generate an error signal by combining each of the sense signals produced by the plurality of sensors including the first sense signal and the second sense signal with a plurality of corresponding weight factors, the error signal being indicative of a difference between an output phase representative of the position and the input phase representative of the position to be measured,
• a processing block comprising a loop filter to filter the error signal and to produce a filtered error signal, the processing block being further configured to obtain from the filtered error signal an estimated output phase, and
• a feedback loop comprising a feedback signal unit arranged for receiving the estimated output phase and for adjusting based on the estimated output phase the plurality of weight factors, so that the weight factors are a function of the estimated output phase,
• wherein the plurality of sensors includes a third sensor, wherein the third sensor is arranged to produce a third sense signal, the third sense signal also being a function of an input phase representative of a position to be measured.
