Device for determining the angular position of a rotor of a rotary electric machine on the basis of signals delivered by a plurality of position sensors, including a circuit producing a control loop for estimating position of the rotor, delivering at output a signal representative of the position, and a circuit for dynamic normalization by the amplitude of the first harmonic of each signal originating from a position sensor. The circuit receives as input each signal originating from a position sensor, and at least one image of the signal representative of the position of the rotor and is configured to demodulate each signal by the image of the signal, determine, at the end of this demodulation, amplitude of the first harmonic of this signal originating from a position sensor, and normalize each signal by dividing it by the amplitude of the first harmonic of the previously determined signal.
