Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of performing space vector modulation for PWM control for creating AC waveforms includes generating and sampling a reference signal to generate reference samples and performing a reference vector approximation to synthesize a reference vector associated with at least one of the reference samples. The reference vector approximation employs active vectors, one or more zero vectors, and one or more pseudo zero vectors in the formation thereof. Another method of performing space vector modulation (SVM) includes generating a reference signal and sampling the reference signal at a sampling frequency to generate a plurality of reference samples. The method also includes performing a reference vector approximation to synthesize a reference vector associated with at least one of the reference samples, wherein the reference vector approximation has a first portion that employs two adjacent active vectors and a remaining portion that employs two non-adjacent active vectors in the formation thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of performing space vector modulation (SVM) for pulse width modulation (PWM) control for creating alternating current (AC) waveforms, comprising: generating a reference signal and sampling the reference signal at a sampling frequency to generate a plurality of reference samples; and performing a reference vector approximation to synthesize a reference vector associated with at least one of the reference samples, wherein the reference vector approx…
