Abstract
This paper proposes a new pulse width modulation (PWM) approach aimed at improving the harmonic content and power losses performance of a 7-level cascaded Hbridge converter (CHB). The carrier-based modulation is based on a variation of the carrier amplitude in a sawtooth shape. The assessment of this approach relies on a comparative performance analysis with conventional modulation schemes. Many methods have focused on the arrangement, shape, or frequency of the carrier signals. However, the approach investigated in this work aims to examine the effect of varying the amplitudes of the carriers. The paper is based on an analytical study of this approach and culminates in numerical validation via PLECS simulation platform, including a comparative analysis of power losses, the harmonic spectrum, and total harmonic distortion (THD) in current and voltage in open loop. Although the open loop study provides a comprehensive evaluation across different operating points, it precedes a closed loop evaluation of the various modulation strategies investigated, such as level shift PWM (LSPWM) and phase shift (PSPWM).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
