Must be K*f_tri, where K is an integer. % fclock sets how often the simulation makes a time step % f_clock is NOT the triangle wave frequency. fclock is necessary becuase the program must % make calculations at a finite number of steps in time. So note that the in this simulation % that the pulse width modulation is now fully continuous in this simulation. If you make N larger % than 16384, you can make f_clock larger. If you make fclock larger *without* making N larger, % there will not be enough time points in one cycle of the signal, and the FFT will be noisy. loop_bandwidth=100E3% this is the feedback loop bandwidth % the feedback loop bandwidth should be as high as possible for low distortion, % but at MOST 1/5 of the triangle wave frequency. Problems arise otherwise f_unity=loop_bandwidth*v_tri_mag/Vp/beta% unity gain frequency of the 2 integrators % this relationship arises because the voltage gain of the PWM stage is (Vp/v_tri_mag) % f_zero=1E3 ; % frequency of the zero in the second integrator % *********this should be less than the feedback loop bandwidth by at least % a factor of 2, and probably by a factor of 10. f_cutoff=50E3 ; % cutoff frequency of the output filter % usually set to somewhat higher than the maximum input signal frequency n_signal_cycles=16; % the signal frequency is given by f_signal=n_signal_cycles/tfinal % specifying the signal frequency in this fashion forces an interger # of % signal periods in the fft, which is necessary to obtain a clean fft. % So, if you change N or f_tri, you will need to change n_signal_cycles in order % to get the signal frequency you want. v_in = 0.8 ;% the input signal voltage amplitude, peak, not RMS gm1=2E-3 ;
