The encoder includes a scale and a multi-section detector for detecting a spatially periodic pattern, such as an optical interference pattern, produced by the scale. The detector includes spatially separated first and second sections. A signal processor estimates respective phase values from detector sections and calculates a phase difference reflecting a spatial position error in the scale. A compensation value is calculated from the phase difference and included in the estimate of the scale position to compensate for this spatial position error. The compensation values may be calculated and used on the fly, or calculated and saved during an in-situ calibration operation and then utilized during normal operation to compensate uncorrected measurements.
