Pulse width modulation with resonant DC link converters

A technique for realizing pulse-width modulation capability in resonant DC link converters is presented. The technique eliminates the subharmonics present in the conventional discrete pulse modulated converters without requiring additional switching devices. Detailed design-oriented analyses enumerating the tradeoffs involved are presented. Control techniques for simultaneously accomplishing link control and output control are considered. Simulation results verifying the principle of operation are presented.<<ETX>>
