Variable amplitude signal generators for generating a sinusoidal signal having limited direct current (DC) offset variation, and related devices, systems, and methods
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed include variable amplitude signal generators for generating a sinusoidal signal having limited direct current (DC) offset variation and related devices and methods. Instead of employing a single pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to generate a sinusoidal signal, in one embodiment, a circuit is provided that generates two PWM signals. The first PWM signal is a high-to-low PWM signal, where the active state is a lower signal level. The second PWM signal is a low-to-high PWM signal where active state is a higher signal level. The first and second PWM signals are combined to provide a summed signal, which is filtered to generate a sinusoidal signal. The DC offset of the first PWM signal varies inversely to the DC offset of the second PWM signal. In this manner, distortions caused by variations in the DC offset present in the generated sinusoidal signal are limited (i.e., reduced or eliminated).
