Abstract: A method and circuit for converting a square wave to a sine wave wherein said sine wave signal maintains phase with the input square wave and very low harmonic distortion. Harmonic distortion of a square wave is efficiently minimized by generating a fundamental frequency signal of square wave using reference signal of square wave frequency and modifying it by signal processing operation. An adaptive filter utilizing this method uses multiplier, an amplifier, an integrator, subtracter circuit and produces a sine wave output of fundamental frequency of input square wave and has less than 2 percent harmonic distortion.

The present invention relates to a method for producing sinusoidal wave with less than 2% harmonic distortion as well as a circuit for implementing the method.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In square wave to sine wave converter, the need for a low harmonic distortion factor, i.e., the signal power of all the output harmonics together shall be small with respect to the signal power of the fundamental output wave. Sine wave generator with a low distortion factor simplifies the control of electrical motors and sensitive application. Furthermore, it is known form the technique of inverter to convert DC voltages into square wave voltages by means of switching devices and to convert those square wave voltages into sinusoidal output voltage. Conventionally passive LC filters have been used to eliminate harmonics and improve power factor. However, passive LC filters are bulky, load dependent, and inflexible. They can also cause resonance in to the system. Therefore, conventional passive filter cannot provide a complete solution. According ,it would desirable to provide a method and circuit for producing sinusoidal wave which would produce very low distortion sine wave utilizing a novel method and circuit which overcomes the aforesaid shortcoming of the prior art.

FIG. 1 shows the square -to-sine wave converter circuit of the present invention. This circuit includes a two multiplier 1 and 2, an integrator 3, amplifier 4 and subtracter circuit 5. A square wave signal is applied to terminal 6, and a reference signal is applied to terminal 7. The sine wave signal of fundamental frequency appears at output terminals 10. Resistorsll (10k ohm) and 12(lk ohm) are determined the gain of non-inverting amplifier 4. This amplifier consists of an operational amplifier LM 741.Resisitors 14,15,16 and 17 are of same value IK ohm for subtractor 5. Multiplier 1 and 2 are four- quadrant multiplier AD633JN. An output of the first multiplier 1 is connected to an integrator circuit 3. This integrator, as is well known, consists of an operational amplifier having an appropriate capacitive element 26 in a feedback path. To avoid the saturation problem capacitor is shunted by a resistor 24.Resistor 33 is minimize the effect of the input bias circuit. The resulting output 20 of integrator is applied to an input Y2 of the second multiplier 2 and the second multiplier 2 produces an output Vo at 10.
When a reference sine wave of fundamental frequency with 1V peak amplitude is applied at 7 to the non-inverting amplifier 4, it get amplified by the factor of 11 and square wave of 12V with 50Hz frequency is applied to terminal 6 of subtractor 5, initially the square wave signal appears at output terminal 21 of subtractor.
The multiplier 1, multiply two signal connected at inputs X1 and Yl, reference signal 30 after amplification is connected to X1 and output signal 21 of subtractor is connected to Yl and produces a parabolic wave at 19. The parabolic wave, output of first multiplier get integrated using integrator circuit 3 and applies an output signal 20 of integrator to the input Y2 of the second multiplier 2. Since the input X2 of the second multiplier concurrently receives the amplified reference signal 22, the second multiplier produces an output voltage as sine wave of fundamental frequency. At output of second multiplier said fundamental frequency signal of square wave being so modified by applying to said subtractor at input terminal 23 that the amplitude of said fundamental frequency signal in said subtractor output 21 is minimized.

Total harmonics distortion of square wave is 47.82%.

Spectrum of this wave represent it contain fundamental frequency (15.28V), third harmonic (0.24V), fifth harmonic (0.03V), and reduction in harmonic distortion (1.60%).
FIG.4 shows the circuit for attenuation of fundamental frequency signal from square waveform of 50Hz. Output of subtractor circuit 5 is waveform where the fundamental frequency signal is attenuated. To attenuate particular frequency from the periodic waveform applied to terminal 6, apply the reference signal of same frequency to terminal 7.
