Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to establish the theory of a switching technique for next-generation power amplifiers, which achieves both power-conversion efficiency enhancement and cost reduction. By applying injection current with harmonics frequency to main amplifier, it is possible to achieve smooth current and voltage at the switches. Additionally, numerical design algorithm for designing the amplifiers was proposed and implemented. Through the research and development of the concrete applications, such as RF power source, dc-dc converter, and lamp ballast, the validities of the established theory and the implemented design tool could be shown. The developed switching techniques is quite effective because of its power-conversion efficiency enhancement and cost reduction and is expected to be used as many applications in the electronics field.
