Abstract
This paper presents a method of reducing the measured amplitude of the high frequency harmonics, contained in standard fixed frequency PWM, by the use of a pseudorandom binary sequence to modulate the PWM carrier frequency, achieving a spread spectrum effect on the EMC spectrum of the system
