Block waves with FOC

Hello! I looked at the phases in an oscilloscope when running the motor with FOC. I see block waves and not sine waves. Does anyone know what could be the cause?

I am having the same problem. It looks like a PWM with varying duty cycle instead of a sine wave

Just because its in FOC mode, doesn't change the fact that its still outputting a PWM signal, unless you have some big filtering on the output to smooth the pwm out you will see it as that.

The sine wave is also the most important special case of the periodic wave. ... In this sense, sine waves are the pure, basic building blocks of all waves. find a word
