FPGA-based generalized scalar pulse-width-modulation for matrix converters

paper presents an entire FPGA implementation of a modulation technique for matrix converter known as Double-Sided Generalized Scalar Pulse Width Modulation. The main advantage of this technique is the possibility to emulate the behaviour of many modulation techniques, including the well-known Space Vector Modulation. Due to the absence of complex algebraic and trigonometric operations in the generalized modulation technique, it is possible to implement the entire control system of the matrix converter in a single FPGA chip. Simulations and experimental results show the effectiveness of the implementation.
