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 ...

This paper presents a technique to improve the performance of laser phase-shift range finders. The phase measurement is performed by using a new method to extract the phase-shift data from the peak of received and transmitted intermediate frequency signal amplitudes. The pulse width modulation is used to minimize the noise effect and enhance the signal amplitude measurement. The advantages of p...

By using a non linear discrete time model, this paper shows how to predict bifurcations in a two cells chopper and analyses the road to chaos. Equilibrium points and their stability are investigated in an analogical way to determine the nature of the bifurcations. The global behaviour is studied by using bifurcation diagrams showing collisions between fixed points and borderlines. The border co...

A novel overmodulation strategy for space-vector pulsewidth modulated (PWM) inverters is proposed. The method, which increases the range of linear control of the output voltage by 10%, is based on Fourier series representation of the reference voltage.

Whitepaper The technology for solar photovoltaic battery charge controllers has advanced dramatically over the past 5 years (1995-2000). The most exciting new technology, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) charging, has become very popular. Some Frequently Asked Questions about PWM battery charging are addressed here.

Permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), which has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, high force, is a research focus and difficulties because of the thrust ripple and control problems for PMLSM. In this paper, in order to reduce thrust ripple and improve system control performance, the space voltage vector pulse width modulation technology (SVPWM) was introduced into t...

Variable pulse position modulation (VPPM) is a new modulation scheme that supports simultaneously illumination with dimming control and communication. In this paper, the transmitter, optical wireless channel, and receiver structure of VPPM were modeled mathematically, and their error performance for examining the communication performance according to dimming level and data rate was analyzed. T...

In this paper, the conduction losses of power MOSFET’s are calculated analytically for application in three-phase voltage dc-link pulsewidth modulation (PWM) converter systems. Contrary to a conventional calculation, the dependency of the turn-on behavior on the drain current is considered in terms of a quadratic approximation. The derived relationships are represented graphically; they can be ...

In this paper, a harmonic elimination and suppression scheme for a dual-inverter-fed open-end winding induction motor drive is presented. Two isolated dc-link sources with voltage ratio of approximately 1 : 0.366 are required for the present drive. These two isolated dc links feeding two inverters to drive the openend winding induction motor eliminate the triplen harmonic currents from the moto...
