'''Binary angular measurement''' ('''BAM''')<ref name="ship"/> (and the '''binary angular measurement system''', '''BAMS'''<ref name="BAMS"/>) is a measure of [[angle]]s using [[binary number]]s and [[fixed-point arithmetic]] in which a full turn is represented by the value 1. The [[unit of measure|unit]] of angular measure used in those methods may be called '''binary radian''' ('''brad''') or '''binary degree'''.
These representation of angles are often used in [[numerical control]] and [[digital signal processing]] applications, such as robotics, navigation,<ref name="lap2004"/> computer games,<ref name="sang1993"/> and digital sensors.<ref name="para2005"/> On the other hand, this system is not adequate for situations where the number of full [[turn (angle)|turn]]s must be measured, e.g. to monitor the rotation of vehicle wheels or of [[leadscrew]]s.
