SPWMtekniikkaa

SPWMtekniikkaa, or Sine Pulse Width Modulation, is a digital control technique used to generate analog waveforms. It is widely employed in power electronics, particularly in the control of electric motors and in the generation of AC power from DC sources, such as in inverters. The fundamental principle of SPWM involves comparing a desired analog waveform, typically a sine wave, with a high-frequency triangular carrier wave.

The comparison process is carried out in a modulator. When the instantaneous amplitude of the sine wave is greater than the amplitude of the triangular wave, the output of the modulator is high. Conversely, when the sine wave's amplitude is lower, the output is low. This results in a series of pulses whose width varies in proportion to the instantaneous amplitude of the sine wave. The duty cycle of these pulses effectively mimics the shape of the desired sine wave.

By employing a high switching frequency for the carrier wave, the resulting pulsed waveform approximates the desired analog signal with remarkable accuracy. This technique allows for the synthesis of AC voltages from DC power sources with controlled amplitude and frequency. SPWM is favored for its efficiency, ability to minimize harmonic distortion in the output waveform, and its suitability for digital implementation, making it a cornerstone of modern power electronics applications.
