A resolver apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus comprises a source generation unit for generating a uni-phase source signal to excite a resolver, wherein said source generation unit comprises a low distortion oscillator, a variable phase shifter, and a capacitive resolver driving network; and a signal output unit for generating a two-phase output signal, wherein said signal output unit comprises the resolver, a signal detector and level adjuster, an angular position measurement unit, and an angular position compensation unit. The method comprises generating a source signal to excite a resolver; transmitting the source signal through a variable phase shifter; transmitting the source signal through at least one capacitive passive element serially connected to each coil winding of the resolver; outputting a displacement signal generated by the resolver to a resolver-to-digital converter; and converting said displacement signal into a digital position using the resolver-to-digital converter.
