Method for detecting disturbances when determining the rotational speed of a rotor and evaluation circuit

TLDR
In this paper, the phase difference between a rotational speed signal and a direction of rotation signal is detected by means of a phase difference measure, i.e., the difference between the phase of the signal and the direction of the rotation of the rotor.
Abstract
The invention relates to a rotary encoder and to a method for detecting disturbances in such a rotary encoder. In this case, vibrations or other disturbances are detected by means of the phase difference between a rotational speed signal, which represents a rotational speed of a rotor, and a direction of rotation signal, which represents a direction of rotation of the rotor.
