Discussion:

From this experiment, we came to know about the concept of PWM and its practical basic implementation. We also observed the change in Pulse Width using different relevance voltage. When we apply 0V voltage the pulse width of positive and negative half cycles was equal. But when we apply +6V voltage, the positive half cycle was larger than the negative half cycle. Again, when we apply -6V voltage, then the negative half cycle was larger than the positive half cycle.

 

Conclusion:

While doing the experiment, some precautions should be taken. Sometimes we can’t get the accurate wave shape because of the loose connection. And there was some distortion while calibrating the oscilloscope. So, we have to check the connection properly and we have to calibrate the oscilloscope accurately to get the accurate or proper wave shape.
