Abstract
This paper is concerned with the behavior of second-order continuous-time LTI systems with the pulse-width-modulation (PWM) input on sampling instants. The input term of the difference equation describing the state transition is a nonlinear map of the control parameter of the rectangular wave, i.e., duty ratio. It is shown that the nonlinearity can be exactly compensated by varying the center of each rectangular wave as well as its duty ratio.
