Sinusoidal PWM
The sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) technique produces a sinusoidal
waveform by filtering an output pulse waveform with varying width. A high
switching frequency leads to a better filtered sinusoidal output waveform. The
desired output voltage is achieved by varying the frequency and amplitude of a
reference or modulating voltage. The variations in the amplitude and frequency
of the reference voltage change the pulse-width patterns of the output voltage
but keep the sinusoidal modulation.

Space Vector PWM
In the SVPWM technique, the duty cycles are computed rather than derived
through comparison as in SPWM. The fundamental voltage can be increased up to
a square wave mode where a modulation index of unity is reached.
SVPWM is accomplished by rotating a reference vector around the state diagram,
which is composed of six basic non-zero vectors forming a hexagon. A circle can
be inscribed inside the state map and corresponds to sinusoidal operation. The
area inside the inscribed circle is called the linear modulation region or under-
modulation region.
