make + object + past participle?
Can I use the structure "make + object + past participle" in formal writing like this sentence:
Increasing PD field of view makes the received power increased.
Thanks!
Increasing PD field of view makes the received power increased.
Thanks!

That does not work, formal or not. " I think the participle would have to be one that has acquired strong adjectival force in its own right: The oil made the engine lubricated. No good.
- That does not work, formal or not.
- " I think the participle would have to be one that has acquired strong adjectival force in its own right: The oil made the engine lubricated.
- No good.
- The new designs made the engine outmoded.
- OK.
