Switch-Mode DC-AC Inverter
Four quadrants of operation.

Half-Bridge Inverter:
1. Capacitors provide the mid-point.
2. The transistors TA+ and TA- are switched
using pulse-width-modulation (PWM).

Peak value of fundamental voltage:
The harmonics in the inverter output
appear as sidebands around mf, 2mf,
3mf, …,kmf,…
Only odd harmonics are present in
the output voltage waveform →mf
should be an odd integer value.
For small values of mf ( e.g., ≤ 21), the two
signals must be synchronized to avoid
sub-harmonics.
8-6
Harmonics in the DC-AC Inverter Output Voltage
1. The fundamental voltage is proportional to the amplitude modulation index.
2. Some harmonics can be larger than the fundamental component.

Harmonics in the Over-Modulation Region
The side bands start to spread out to a point where all the integer harmonics
appear in the frequency spectrum (including the low-order harmonics which
are hard to filter).

Push-Pull Inverter (requires transformer with center tap)
1. vo switches between Vd/n and –Vd/n where n is the transformer turn
ratio.
2. Advantage: no more than one switch conducts at any time → less
voltage drop. Also the control drives have the same ground.
3. Difficulty: strong magnetic coupling between the two half windings is
required to reduce the energy associated with the leakage inductance.

Blanking Time: Non-Ideal switches
Instantaneous switching from ON
to OFF and vice versa.
In practice, the turn-on and turn-off
times are finite (non-zero). Blanking
Time is chosen to avoid cross-
conduction through the leg.
