Nonlinear pulse width modulation (PWM) controlled system is considered to achieve control performance of thrustercontrolled spacecraft. The actual PWM controlled motions occur, very closely, around the average model trajectory. Furthermore nonlinear PWM controller design can be directly applied to thruster controlled spacecraft to determine thruster on-time. Sliding mode control for attitude tr...

The article presents a seven-level reduced switch asymmetrical multilevel inverter with two different methods of pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques. Phase disposition (PD) PWM and hybrid variable-frequency phase (HVFPD-PWM) are the for making quality output voltage waveform. In first method, unipolar sine reference triangular carriers is used. second (sinusoidal trapezoidal) proposed varia...

Due to great value of the time constant of the integrator circuit, a hardware defined PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal makes it possible to build a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) characterized by a relatively long response time. An attempt at creating the software defined PWM signal leads to increased response time of the DAC converter with a coefficient several hundred times longer than ...

High current qualities and high efficiencies are always two important characteristics for power converters. However, it is challenging to achieve the targets simultaneously. In this paper, dead-time-effect elimination pulse-width-modulation (PWM) improving discontinuous PWM (DPWM) reducing switching losses combined, proposing a double-modulation-wave DPWM. An additional modulation wave added, w...

The Flying Capacitor Multi Level Inverter (FCMLI) has a great advantage with respect to the availability of voltage redundancies. This work proposes a switching pattern for a modified inverter structure. It is used to improve the performance of chosen single phase five level H-bridge type FCMLI as compared to conventional FCMLI. The chosen multi level inverter is simulated for various multicarr...

This paper presents a new circuit realization of the space-vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) strategy. An SVPWM control integrated circuit (IC) has been developed using the state-of-the-art field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. The proposed SVPWM control scheme can be realized using only a single FPGA (XC4010) from Xilinx, Inc. The output fundamental frequency can be adjusted fro...
