A novel unipolar frequency doubling SPWM modulation method for a single-phase high-frequency chain matrix rectifier. The topology of the single-phase high-frequency chain matrix rectifier is determined by the AC input voltage U s , LC input filter, matrix converter, high-frequency transformer, post-stage uncontrolled diode, L-type filter, load R dc connected sequentially. The modulation method is to compare two positive and negative sinusoidal modulation waves with the same triangular carrier signal, modulate to generate four SPWM waves, and then perform coupling, that is, after "AND" logic synthesis with high-frequency square wave signals Vp and Vn Get eight driving waves, and then perform "or" logic synthesis to get four S ah , S al , S bh , S bl driving wave, that is, S nal and S pah Share a drive signal S ah , S nah and S pal Share a drive signal S al , S nbl and S pbh Share a drive signal S bh , S nbh and S pbl Share a drive signal S bl . The method can solve the problem that the primary voltage peak is generated because the primary current ip has no flow path due to the leakage inductance of the transformer. And it has less switching loss and better output voltage waveform quality.
