Abstract
This paper focuses on a DC-AC resonant power converter using a special sine wave amplitude modulation concept with the objective of achieving a linear input-output behavior, low harmonic content at the output, and reduced stages number. This technique can be applied to a wide range of resonant converters’ applications. Sine wave generation techniques and phase modulation methods limitations are analyzed. Alternative solutions, such as a new pre-distorted phase modulator, are developed. A prototype was designed and implemented. Presented experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented principle.
