Self sensing rotor position detection
Sensorless technique1 The detection of the rotor position by means of a high
frequency (HF) signal injection is a common sensorlessdetection technique.
2 It consists on the injection of a HF voltages in the statorwindings, which causes a HF currents.
3 HF current vector draws a figure that containsinformation of the rotor position.

than zero in a whole plane, since Lqh > Ldh.X The mutual differential inductance is negligible,
