Abstract :
In digitally controlled high power applications switching frequency restrictions may degrade considerably the closed-loop frequency response of the control structure, introducing important and hazardous resonance bands. In this paper this phenomenon is demonstrated on the base of a conventional multi- integrator based controller and various improving methods are proposed and analyzed (both in simulation and experimentally).
