Speed is calculated by the frequency of the signal, and direction can be determined by the offset of the two signal patterns. Exact position data is calculated by counting the number of pulses and the direction of the motor.

Thats the only big thing that stuck out to me. The details you described are a bit fuzzy but It should be alright for a general description of how it works.
Is there an introduction paragraph? I seemed kinda just thrown into.
