Single phase AC-DC matrix converter using PIC

This thesis presents the implementation of single-phase matrix converter (SPMC) as an AC-DC converter. A Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) was used at the heart of the control electronics to synthesize the required output. The multiple-PWM technique was used to synthesize the output. A simulation model was developed using PSpice technique prior to practical realization. Basic load represented by R are used for practical realizations. Resistive load was used to reduce the complexities of the circuit. Further investigations were carried-out on the use of RL circuit.
