Abstract

In this paper, a new control (modulation) technique, called Bi-Frequency control, is proposed. By operating the converters at two fixed switching frequencies with a modulation frequency to adjust the duration ratio, the emission spectrum of the control signal is spread and the spectral power level is reduced. The spectral analysis of the Bi-Frequency control signal is given, and the spectral comparison between PWM and Bi-Frequency control is presented. A Bi-Frequency controlled buck ZVS converter is breadboarded to confirm the operation of the Bi-Frequency control
