  • Patent number: 11967907
    Abstract: The invention proposed a space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) method for any level cascaded H-bridge inverter. The multilevel space vector diagram is re-divided, and the coordinates of the nearest three vectors (NTVs) are directly obtained by judging the position of the reference vector. The duty cycles of the NTVs is calculated through additional vector which is equivalent to the reference vector. Then, the switching states are obtained by zero-sequence component and coordinate transformation, and the desired reference vector is synthesized for the SVPWM modulation. The invention realizes multilevel modulation in Cartesian coordinates without any iterative calculation, and the calculation is independent of the level number. Furthermore, the locating of the reference vector and the calculation of the duty cycles are simplified, and the calculation complexity is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11967966
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a circuit and method for expanding the lock range of injection-locked oscillators. The circuit includes N injection-locked oscillators and a lock detector, where the lock detector includes an alignment monitor, a clock selector, and N self-samplers. A pulse reference signal is inputted into the N injection-locked oscillators, and the output of each injection-locked oscillator is connected to the clock selector and the corresponding self-sampler. The self-samplers sample the outputs of the N injection-locked oscillators and output the sampling results to the alignment monitor. The alignment monitor monitors the sampling results, determines the locking conditions of the injection-locked oscillators, and turns off the unlocked oscillators. The clock selector selects a locked oscillator and transmits the output of the locked oscillator as a system lock.
