This paper presents a novel hybrid carrier based space vector modulation for cascaded multilevel inverters. The proposed technique inherits the properties of carrier based space vector modulation and the fundamental frequency modulation strategy. The main characteristic of this modulation are the reduction of power loss, and improved harmonic performance. The carrier based space vector modulation algorithm is implemented with a TMS320F2407 digital signal processor. A Xilinx Complex Programmable Logic Device is used to develop the hybrid PWM control algorithm and it is integrated with a digital signal processor for hybrid carrier based space vector PWM generation. The inverter offers less weighted total harmonic distortion and it operates with equal electrostatic and electromagnetic stress among the power devices. The feasibility of the proposed technique is verified by spectral analysis, simulation, and experimental results.

This paper proposes a hybrid single carrier sinusoidal modulation suitable for multiphase multilevel inverters. Multiphase multilevel inverters are controlled by hybrid modulation to provide multiphase variable voltage and a variable frequency supply. The proposed modulation combines the benefits of fundamental frequency modulation and single carrier sinusoidal modulation (SC-SPWM) strategies. The main characteristics of hybrid modulation are a reduction in switching losses and improved harmonic performance. The proposed algorithm can be applied to cascaded multilevel inverter topologies. It has low computational complexity and it is suitable for hardware implementations. SC-SPWM and its base modulation design are implemented on a TMS320F2407 digital signal processor (DSP). A Complex Programmable Logic Device realizes the hybrid PWM algorithm and it is integrated with a DSP processor for hybrid SC-SPWM generation. The feasibility of this hybrid modulation is verified by spectral analysis, power loss analysis, simulation and experimental results.

A novel variant of full multi-modulation applications to diode-clamped and cascade multilevel inverter-termed single carrier multi-modulation is presented. The proposed PWM-technique is advantageous for its simple implementation. The correlation between multi-carrier and single-carrier multi-modulations is deduced. For the PWM methods, a mathematical model of voltage source inverter and general algorithm for the multi-modulating modulator are proposed. The theory is demonstrated by simulation results

In this study, a carrier-based pulse-width modulation (PWM) method for two-level voltage source inverters in the over-modulation region is proposed. Based on the superposition principle, the reference voltage vectors outside the linear modulation boundary are adjusted to relocate to the vector hexagon, while their fundamental magnitudes are retained. In accordance with the adjusted reference vector, the corresponding modulated waves are respectively deduced in over-modulation mode I and II to generate the gate signals of the power switches, guaranteeing the linearity of the fundamental output phase voltage in the over-modulation region. Moreover, due to the linear relationship between the voltage vector and the duty ratios, the complicated sector identification and holding angle calculation found in previous methods are avoided in the modulated wave synthesis, which provides great simplicity for the proposed carrier-based over-modulation strategy. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed method.

This paper presents a simple modified unipolar carrier-based pulsewidth modulation (CB-PWM) strategy for the three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) voltage source inverter (VSI). Analytical expressions for the relationship between modulation reference signals and output voltages are derived. The proposed modulation technique for the three-level NPC VSI includes the maximum and minimum of the three-phase sinusoidal reference voltages with zero-sequence voltage injection concept. The proposed modified CB-PWM strategy incorporates a novel method that requires only of one triangular carrier wave for generate the gating pulses in three-level NPC VSI. It has the advantages of being simplifying the algorithm with no need of complex two/multi-carrier pulsewidth modulation or space vector modulation (SVM) and it's also simple to implement. The possibility of the proposed CB-PWM technique has been verified though computer simulation and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 캐리어(Carrier)를 이용한 매트릭스 컨버터(Matrix Converter)의 전압 변조 방법을 제안한다. 출력상전압에 적절한 옵셋(Offset) 전압을 더하고, 캐리어 파형의 기울기를 적절히 제어함으로써 입력 전류를 역율 1의 정현파로 제어하면서 동시에 출력 전압의 합성이 가능하다. 이 방법은 기존의 매트릭스 컨버터 전압 변조 방법인 SVPWM과 동일한 스위칭 패턴을 나타내지만, 그 구현은 훨씬 간단한다. 또한 기존의 전압형 인버터(Voltage Source Inverter, VSI)에서 발전된 2상/3상 변조, 과변조(Over Modulation) 등의 개념을 유사하게 적용할 수 있어 그 활용도가 매우 논다. Matlab/Simulink를 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과와 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 통신과 거리측정을 동시에 행하는 대역확산방식을 이용한 VANET에서의 거리측정 시스템에 다중반송파(Multi-Carrier) 변조방식을 적용한 시스템을 제안한다. 기존방식에서는 자기차량이 송신한 PN신호에 상대차량의 정보를 실어서 재송신하고 자기차량은 대역확산에 의해 상대차량 정보를 파악하였으며, 동시에 송수신한 PN신호의 위상차를 탐지허여 차량거리를 정확하게 측정하는 것이 가능했다. 그러나 그 차량거리 측정의 문제점으로서 위상차의 탐지 오차와 분석 능력을 높이기 위해 고속 PN신호가 펼요할 수밖에 없다. 제안 시스템은 이러한 문제점 해결을 위해 다중반송파 변조방식을 적용했다. 다중반송파 변조방식은 단일반송파와 비교해서 Chip rate이 작은 PN신호를 사용함으로 단일반송파와 동일한 주파수 대역에서 복수의 반송파 이용이 가능하다. 복수의 반송파는 등이득 합성법에 의해 합성되기 때문에 다이버시티 효과가 얻어져 위상차의 에러검출을 방지하는 것이 가능하고 정밀 거리측정도 기존방식과 비교해서 우수하게 개선되었다.

This paper proposes a multiplexed space-frequency block coding (SFBC) technique for single-carrier modulation with frequency domain equalization. Multiplexed space-frequency block coding technique for single-carrier modulation uses multiple groups of two transmitters and suppresses the interference signals of other SFBC groups at the receiver. In this paper, we reconfigure transmit signals to adapt them for multiplexed SFBC for single-carrier modulation with frequency domain equalization and receiver structures and propose a structure for transmitter and receiver, show its performance is better than the traditional algorithm by simulations.

In this paper, we propose Time-Division-Multiplexing Tertiary Offset Carrier (TDMTOC), a novel GNSS modulation based on Tertiary Offset Carrier (TOC) modulation. The TDMTOC modulation multiplexes two three-level signals (i.e., -1, 0, and 1) while crossing over time, and is a type of TOC modulation designed specifically for signal multiplexing. The proposed modulation generates TDMTOC subcarriers of two different phases by simply combining two Binary Offset Carrier (BOC) subcarriers by addition or subtraction. TDMTOC has better correlation and spectral properties than conventional BPSK, BOC, and MBOC modulation techniques, and has good power and spectral efficiency since it can multiplex signals without power loss similar to time division multiplexing. To prove this, we introduce the multiplexing process of TDMTOC, and compare TDMTOC with Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), BOC, Composite BOC (CBOC), and Time Multiplexed BOC (TMBOC) that are currently serviced in GNSS by simulations of various aspects. Through the simulation results, we prove that TDMTOC has better correlation property than modulations currently used in GNSS, less intersystem interference due to its wide spectrum property, and robustness in multipath and noise channel environments.

This paper proposes a carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM) method to control an indirect matrix converter (IMC) by analyzing the relationship between the space vector PWM (SVPWM) and the carrier-based PWM. The complexity of the SVPWM method for an IMC can be reduced by using an equivalent carrier-based PWM method. The advantage of the proposed algorithm is its ability use only one symmetrical triangular carrier signal to generate the gate signals for all of the power switches in both the rectifier and inverter stages as compared to the conventional method where the carrier signal used in the rectifier stage is different from that of the inverter stage. In addition, by using a suitable offset voltage component in the modulation signals, the output voltage magnitude reaches 0.866 of the input voltage magnitude. Simulation and experimental results are provided in order to validate the proposed method.
