Interpolation is the mathematical process that subdivides the grating period of an optical or capacitive encoder into position counts finer than the physical line pitch. Understanding interpolation electronics — including the arctangent algorithm, signal conditioning requirements, and error sources — enables accurate specification of achievable resolution at a given signal quality.
