Abstract

We perform a theoretical analysis of the optical system in a specialized test bench for certification of a nonmisadjustable turning-angle sensor, based on an annular-field collimator, and discuss a specific example. We demonstrate that this type of test bench can be used to substantially improve the accuracy and precision of such a turning-angle sensor.
