Inverter waveform

The CDF can be controlled by controlling the period of conduction, in other words, the pulse widths (periodic time period, T remaining the same). Thus the a.c. output voltage in an IGBT inverter can be controlled with the help of modulation. The modulation in the inverter circuit is acliieved by superposing a cairier voltage waveform...

A second type of quasi-resonant converter is the zero voltage switching (ZVS) quasi-resonant family. A ZVS QR buck converter and its waveforms are shown in Figure 4-11. Here the power switch remains on most of the time and performs resonant off periods to decrease the output power. Actually, the ZCS and the ZVS families mirror one another. If you were to compare the switch voltage and current waveforms between the two families, and if one inverts both the voltage and current waveforms in order to reference them to the power switch, the waveforms would have a striking resemblance to one another. 

Siegel et al. showed that enhancement of the CT can also be obtained using hyperbolic secant (HS) pulses to invert selectively the STs [74], Unlike the DFS waveform, whose frequency sweep is generated by a constant rf-pulse phase while modulating the amplitude, the HS pulse utilizes both amplitude and phase modulation, yielding an enhancement exceeding that obtained by DFS or RAPT [61, 74, 75]. Most recently, the pulse sequence called wideband uniform-rate smooth truncation (WURST) [76] was introduced to achieve selective adiabatic inversion using a lower power of the rf-field than that required for the HS pulses [77,78]. One of its applications involved more efficient detection of insensitive nuclei, such as 33S [79]. 

Base this curve on the previous diagram and imagine a slowly cycling AC waveform in the circuit. When current flow is positive, the capacitor acts as it did in the DC circuit. When the current flow reverses polarity the capacitor generates a curve that is inverted in relation to the first. The mean current flow is low as current dies away exponentially when passing through the capacitor.

The Performance Analysis capabilities of Probe are used to view properties of waveforms that are not easily described. Amplifier bandwidth, rise time, and overshoot are examples. To calculate the bandwidth of a circuit, you must find the maximum gain, and then find the frequency where the gain is down by 3 dB. To calculate rise time, you must find the 10% and 90% points, and then find the time difference between the points. The Performance Analysis gives us the capability to plot these properties versus a parameter or device tolerances. The Performance Analysis is used in conjunction with the Parametric Sweep to see how the properties vary versus a parameter. The Performance Analysis is used in conjunction with the Monte Carlo analysis to see how the properties vary with device tolerances. In this section we will plot the rise time of a BJT inverter versus the value of the collector resistor. See Section 9.G to leam how to use the Performance Analysis in conjunction with the Monte Carlo analysis. 

The breadboard plots of the waveforms at the inverting pin and the output pin of LM111 are shown in Fig. 5.10. The DC output voltage of the breadboard measured -13.68 V. The Micro-Cap waveforms are shown in Fig. 5.11. The Micro-Cap DC output voltage of the circuit measured -12.393 V. 

The positive DC to negative DC comparator converter was also simulated using PSpice and IsSpice. The inverting pin and output pin waveforms of LM111 are shown in Figs. 5.12 and 5.13. A summary of the DC output voltages of all three simulators compared to the breadboard results is given in Table 5.2.

The pulses are provided by a precision bipolar voltage source, which is switched into the input of the pulsing amplifier by the switch at point A in the circuit. A very accurate crystal-controlled timing circuit (not shown) drives the switch to ensure that the pulses are symmetrical. The pulsing amplifier inverts the signal as shown by waveform B and supplies current to the cell. The cell current is amplified by the current follower, the output of which is illustrated by waveform C. 

Harmonic number (h) refers to the individual frequency elements that comprise a composite waveform. For example, h = 5 refers to the fifth harmonic component with a frequency equal to five times the fundamental frequency. If the fundamental frequency is 60 Hz, then the fifth harmonic frequency is 5 x 60, or 300 Hz. The harmonic number 6 is a component with a frequency of 360 Hz. Dealing with harmonic numbers and not with harmonic frequencies is done for two reasons. The fundamental frequency varies among individual countries and applications. The fundamental frequency in the U.S. is 60 Hz, whereas in Europe and many Asian countries it is 50 Hz. Also, some applications use frequencies other than 50 or 60 Hz for example, 400 Hz is a common frequency in the aerospace industry, while some AC systems for electric traction use 25 Hz as the frequency. The inverter part of an AC adjustable speed drive can operate at any frequency between zero and its full rated maximum frequency, and the fundamental frequency then becomes the frequency at which the motor is operating. The use of harmonic numbers allows us to simplify how we express harmonics. The second reason for using harmonic numbers is the simplification realized in performing mathematical operations involving harmonics. 

If the potential is inverted at a given value (inversion or final potential) until the initial potential is reached again, the two above techniques are denoted Cyclic Staircase Voltammetry (CSCV) and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), respectively (see Scheme 5.3). The potential waveform in CV can be written as a continuous function of time... 

There is one main problem with UPSs the quality of power they provide. Batteries provide DC power, and computer power supplies run on AC power. Inside the UPS is a power inverter that converts the DC into AC. It isn t perfect. AC power produces 60Hz sine waveform, whereas the inverter produces a square wave. A computer s power supply will accept these square waveforms, but it doesn t like them (see Figure 2.30). Even though this problem exists, UPS manufacturers are using more sensitive inverters that can more closely approximate the sine wave. So, a UPS should be put on every piece of computer equipment where data loss would be a problem (in other words, almost every piece of computer equipment). 

A uniform modulation of the gradient vector leads to a waveform G(t), where inter-dispersed 180° pulses invert the sign of prior gradients. Provided that one is dealing with molecular spin motion in which sudden local phase changes are avoided, it is possible to show that the phase distribution of the magnetization components exposed to such a motion is Gaussian in character and that the normalized echo attenuation at time t may be written as...
