Analytical derivation of switching-pattern distribution for class-E amplifier
using bifurcation theory <Abstract> This paper presents analytical switchingpattern distributions for the class-E amplifier. The switching patterns are changed via border-collision bifurcation or grazing bifurcation. Therefore, the switching-pattern distribution maps can be obtained for wide parameter region by solving the bifurcation conditions with the analytical steady-state waveform expressions and following the bifurcation curves. By carrying out circuit experiments, we can confirm the validity of the distribution maps. |
