Multilevel PWM waveforms can be decomposed into several multilevel PWM components. Phase-shifted carrier (PSC) is an efficient decomposition technique. In this paper, we have first demonstrated the equality of PSC and alternative phase opposition disposition techniques. Second, we have modified PSC to accommodate other disposition techniques. Third, we have investigated the effects of using...
