The article suggests a method of compensating for non-ideal signal shape in an inductive rotor position sensor for a brushless direct current motor. The method is based on correcting the non-ideal signal by means of a fractional rational function. We used best-estimate iterative algorithms of E.Ya. Remez in order to determine fitting parameters. The method suggested makes it possible to correct distortion, phase shift and bias of a non-ideal sine signal from the inductive sensor. We used a computer simulation to study the method presented in order to compensate for a non-ideal signal employing the MATLAB software package
