This paper presents an overview of the matrix converter and its modulation techniques with application. Matrix converter is one of the most interesting members of power converter family; provide direct AC-AC conversion. A matrix converter is an ac-ac power frequency converter that received extension research attention due to its single stage power conversion technique, which is an alternate to ac-dc-ac converter.MC (matrix converter) is capable to convert energy from an ac source to ac load without the need of bulky and life- time limited energy storage elements. Here the purpose of most of these modulation methods is to generate sinusoidal current on the input and output sides. These methods are compared on the basis of theoretical complexities and performance.
