However simple this solution looks, in reality it is more difficult, because
the sensed "branch" voltage also contains some ripples.
As shown in previous equations
inductances play an important role here. The difference of the mutual
inductances between the coils which carry the phase current, and the
coil used for back-EMF sensing, causes the PWM pulses to be
superimposed onto the detected back-EMF voltage. In fact, it is
produced by the high rate of change of phase current, transferred to the
free phase through the coupling of the mutual inductance.
Figure 3-7
shows the real measured "branch" voltage. The red curves
highlight the effect of the difference in the mutual inductances. This
difference is not constant.
