Formation of the Spectral Composition of the Output Voltage of Converters for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the construction of an asynchronous control system for semiconductor converters for nuclear magnetic resonance. The relevance of research in this direction, main problems that arise during the construction of these systems are shown. Derived the mathematical model of the inverter, on the basis of which a control system with asynchronous pulse-width modulation is constructed. Proposed an equivalent converter circuit with a constant structure, constant parameters, and an equivalent EMF generator. Established correspondence between the equivalent circuit of the converter and its mathematical model in the form of differential equations. On the basis of mathematical equations, a structural diagram of the converter with a control system was developed and the principle of operation of the device was described according to it. To develop an algorithm for the control system, the dependence of the frequency change relative to the resonant frequency on the phase shift between the current through the filter and the voltage on the antenna circuit is determined. For which the model was built in Simulink and the corresponding simulation was carried out. Numerical dependences of reference signal frequency change and phase shift were obtained. The increase in efficiency of device for nuclear magnetic resonance is considered due to the use of multilevel inverters with tuning the frequency of operation to the frequency of the resonant circuit. Simulation of a three-level diode-clamped inverter showed that when the capacitance of the resonant circuit changes and, therefore, the resonant frequency of the circuit, the input current increases. The work obtained specific numerical dependencies. Time diagrams of voltages and currents on the main elements of the converter are given, which illustrate the implementation asynchronous pulse-width modulation in the control system. After working out the automatic frequency control algorithm, the increase in current consumption can be leveled off. The simulation results also show that it is possible to reduce the amplitude of the third harmonic. The disadvantages of the proposed system include the fact that the frequency of the converter is adjusted at each subsequent period of its operation. At the same time, the parameters of the filter can change again, which leads us to believe that adjusting the frequency will never give a 100% result, but will only allow to get as close as possible to the set parameters of the sounding signal. The work also indicates that it is possible to improve the spectral composition of the probing voltage generated by the converter by using more levels of a diode-clamped multi-level inverter. However, increasing the number of levels reduces the action speed of the system and complicates the control system itself. Therefore, the need to maintain a balance between the number of levels of the inverter and the complexity of the system is indicated.
