A PWM inverter has mf=fcarrierfreference.m_f=\frac{f_{\text{carrier}}}{f_{\text{reference}}}. Increasing mfm_f  while keeping the reference frequency constant will:  

Which of the following duty cycles produces an output voltage whose magnitude is equal to the input voltage in an ideal buck-boost converter operating in CCM?

A square-wave inverter produces an output voltage vo(t)=±Vdc.v_o(t)=\pm V_{dc}. Which is the first harmonic after after the fundamental?  

For sinusoidal PWM operating in the linear region (ma≤1)(m_a\le1)(ma​≤1), doubling the amplitude modulation ratio mam_ama​ approximately doubles:  

A single-phase full-bridge square-wave inverter supplies an RL load. Given: Vdc = 180 V R = 15 ohms L = 15 mH f = 60 Hz Assume ideal switches and steady-state operation. (a) The inverter is required to deliver a fundamental RMS load current of 8 A. Determine the required DC input voltage, Vdc. (5 pts) (b) Determine the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the load current. (4 pts) The inverter is now modified to use amplitude and harmonic control. The output voltage harmonics are given by Vn,peak = (4Vdc / nπ) cos(nα), for n = 1, 3, 5, … (c) Determine the smallest positive switching angle, α, that eliminates the fifth harmonic from the output voltage. (3 pts) (d) Using the switching angle obtained in part (c), determine the new fundamental RMS output voltage. (3 pts)

A full-bridge inverter accidentally turns on the upper and lower switches of the same inverter leg simultaneously. The most likely consequence is:
