One way to do it, a rotor winding provides an excitation to a pair of stator windings that are 90 degrees apart from each other. As one winding reaches maximum coupling, the other is reaching zero. The coupling can be "in phase" or "out of phase" so the resolver reading circuit needs to determine both amplitude and phase of the sensed outputs. There are several other ways to read position from resolvers, too.
Pico Systems (my company) makes stand-alone converters to convert a resolver to quadrature plus index pulse. Since there are no electronics in the sensor, it is capable of handling oil, vibration and high temperatures.
