Class D amplifier
 Spectrum
• All non-sinusoidal waveforms are made up of
harmonic frequencies
• The frequency content of a particular waveform is
called its spectrum.
• When the triangular waveform modulates the
input sine wave, the resulting spectrum contains
the sine wave frequency, finput, plus the
fundamental frequency of the triangular
modulating signal, fm, and harmonic frequencies
above and below the fundamental frequency.
• Harmonics is due to rise and fall of pulses.
