What is a sine-cosine Encoder?

A Sine-Cosine Encoder is a position transducer using only two sensors, each 90 degrees out of phase with respect to each other, driving an up/down counter through appropriate logic. Since sine and cosine are 90 degrees out of phase with repect to each other, this technique is called sine-cosine encoding. The computer mouse is an example of this technique.
