In order to simplify the stator winding structure of traditional variable reluctance (VR) resolvers and enhance their performance under high-speed operating conditions, this paper proposes a design for a variable reluctance self-coupling resolver based on ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) square wave excitation. The proposed solution optimizes the traditional winding structure by eliminating the separate excitation winding and integrating both excitation and detection functions into the two-phase sine and cosine windings. By optimizing the arrangement of the sine and cosine windings, a single-layer equal-turn winding design is successfully implemented, significantly simplifying the winding layout and reducing copper usage. In terms of excitation signal, this paper innovatively replaces the traditional sinusoidal excitation with UHF square wave excitation. Compared to sinusoidal excitation, square wave excitation not only generates higher electromotive force (EMF) peaks but also simplifies engineering implementation, reducing the complexity of system hardware. To validate the feasibility and advantages of the proposed structure, a complete experimental testing platform was built, and comparative experiments were conducted under various rotational speeds. The experimental results show that the proposed self-coupling resolver can achieve high-precision rotor position detection across the entire speed range, significantly improving the detection accuracy and dynamic response of traditional methods under high-speed conditions. Ultimately, the design demonstrates strong engineering application potential and provides a new solution for high-precision, high-dynamic response rotor position detection.
