Abstract
Abstract A modulating wave signal whose phase abruptly changes is compared with a carrier signal to generate a pulse width modulation pulse. The carrier signal is a sine wave signal having a frequency n times as high as that of the modulating signal and synchronized with the modulating signal. A phase of the carrier abruptly changes by a factor of n as the phase of the modulating signal abruptly changes. Thus, a pulse with modulation pulse which causes an output voltage of a pulse with modulation inverter to be sinusoidal is generated even if the phase of the modulating wave signal abruptly changes.
