publications and magazines, and Internet articles) will be called the popular literature in this<br />

report.<br />

The popular literature was abandoned in hopes of finding more detailed information in the<br />

academic literature (which is defined here to consist of textbooks, conference proceedings, and<br />

technical journals). However, it was quickly discovered that textbooks in motor control are<br />

generally written at an advanced level and most articles investigated such advanced or detailed<br />

topics that they were of little help in learning the theory.<br />

The bulk of the research then was learning the fundamental theory of brushless motor operation<br />

and control in order to be able to interpret the academic literature to gain a better understanding<br />

and to find answers to specific questions. Therefore, the first purpose of this report is to<br />

summarize what has been learned in terms simple enough that the average technical person can<br />

gain an understanding of the field. The second purpose has been to establish a collection of useful<br />

references.<br />

In addition to investigating the fundamentals mentioned, it was found that the modern academic<br />

literature is written in terms of space vector theory, thus this had to be learned as well. Additional<br />

topics of importance were found to be the Clarke and Park transforms, reference frame theory, the<br />

modifications that must be made to traditional synchronous machine theory in order to describe<br />

BPMS motors, state-space control systems, state observer theory, and three-phase inverter control<br />

techniques. The report is meant to highlight the pertinent issues and present the author’s present<br />

understanding; it is not meant to be a comprehensive treatment that is complete. As each topical<br />

area is brought to a close, additional references are listed so that the reader can resume study<br />

where the author left off.<br />
