Double edge modulation eliminates certain harmonics when the reference is a__________?

Correct answer: A. Sine wave

  • A. Sine wave
  • B. Square wave
  • C. Triangular wave
  • D. Trapezoidal wave

Explanation

With a sinusoidal reference, double-edge PWM produces symmetrical switching pulses, causing selected harmonic components to cancel. A square or triangular reference does not provide the same sinusoidal PWM harmonic cancellation pattern.
