1.2 Basic Theory
1.2.1 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is a modulation technique by
changing the pulse width (duty cylce) with a fixed amplitude and frequency
value. One pulse cycle is a high condition then it is in the transition zone to a
low condition. PWM pulse width is directly proportional to the amplitude of
the unmodified original signal. Duty Cycle is a representation of the logic
high condition in a signal period and expressed in the form (%) with a range
of 0% to 100%, for example if the signal is in a high condition continuously
means to have a duty cycle of 100%. If the time of a high signal is the same
as a low state then the signal has a duty cycle of 50%.
How it works from PWM is to compare the two inputs of an Op-Amp,
namely inverting and non-inverting amplifiers. Sawtooth wave is given to
the non-inverting input continuously and the number of these pulses
determines the output frequency, while the inverting input makes it a
determinant of the output form called duty cycle. Duty cylcle can vary at a
fixed frequency. This means that the duty cycle does not affect the number of
frequencies. Duty cycle determines what percentage of time on and off time
in a period. Sawtooth pulses and comparable pulses can be exchanged for the
reverse arrangement. For example, if you want to increase the duty cycle
when given a positive voltage comparison then the triangle pulse is given to
the inverting input but if you want the duty cycle to decrease when given a
positive voltage then the sawtooth pulse is given to the non-inverting input.

1.2.2 Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM)
Sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) is a technique of pulse width
modulation used in inverters. An inverter generates an output of AC voltage
from an input of DC with the help of switching circuits to reproduce a sine
wave by generating one or more square pulses of voltage per half cycle. If the
size of the pulses is adjusted, the output is said to be pulse width modulated.
With this modulation, some pulses are produced per half cycle. The pulses
close to the ends of the half cycle are constantly narrower than the pulses
close to the center of the half cycle such that the pulse widths are comparative
to the equivalent amplitude of a sine wave at that part of the cycle. To change

2
 the efficient output voltage, the widths of all pulses are amplified or reduced
while keeping the sinusoidal proportionality. With PWM only the on-time of
the pulses are changed during the amplitudes.

 4. Based on the simulation result, what is the basic principle of SPWM?
The basic principle of SPWM is to adjust the pulse width that follows
the pattern sinusoidal wave. Comparators are used to compare waves
sinusoidal and triangular waves. If the sinusoidal voltage value is greater
than triangle voltage then the comparator output will be worth 1 (high).
However, if sinusoidal voltage is smaller than triangle voltage then the
comparator output will be value 0 (low).
Modulate the carrier signal that is used a sine signal with amplitude
and maximum frequency. As a carrier wave, a modulation wave (signal sine)
must not be greater than the frequency of the triangular signal. Comparison
between the amplitude of a sinusoidal wave with a triangle wave is called the
modulation index amplitude. In the SPWM signal, the output frequency of the
Inverter output depends on the signal frequency reference.
5. Write minimum 2 implementations of PWM technique!
Implementations of PWM technique are used for regulating DC motor speed,
adjusting the brightness or dim LED, and controlling the angle of the servo
motor. Example of the use of PWM in setting the speed of a DC motor, the
greater the value of the duty cycle given will affect the speed of the motor
rotation. If the value of the duty cylinder is small then the motor will move
slowly.
1.6 Conclusion
 The refernce voltage is greater than the carrier voltage, the comparator output
will be high.
 The reference voltage is less than the carrier voltage, the comparator output
will be low.
