A novel switching method in producing two-phase output from single-phase input

In this study, a new method is presented for producing two-phase AC output, from a single-phase AC input, based on the studies performed in [1] and also other novel techniques. Initially, the main idea behind the proposed method is presented and discussed, and then a practical switching and circuitry configuration, in order to achieve the aims of the idea is presented. Finally, simulation is performed in MATLAB®/SIMULINK™ environment, in order to investigate the performance of the proposed technique. First a load and circuitry configuration is chose, to provide the maximum output voltage amplitude. Then output is investigated using other configurations. The results are presented and discussed.
