Ultra-precise on-axis encoder self-calibration for fast rotary platforms

This thesis presents the design, implementation, and experimental testing of a rotary platform and its use for encoder calibration research. So far, the experimental results have demonstrated a calibration repeatability of better than 200 nano-radians (0.04 arc-second), which is much better than th...
