چکیده
In this paper an outphasing modulation control method suitable for line regulation of very high frequency resonant converters is described. The pros and cons of several control methods suitable for very high frequency resonant converters are described and compared to outphasing modulation. Then the modulation technique is described and the design equations given. Finally a design example is given for a converter consisting of two class E inverters with a lossless combiner and a common half bridge rectifier. It is shown how outphasing modulation can be used for line regulation while insuring equal and purely resistive loading of the inverters. Combined with a proper design of the inverters that, insures they can achieve zero voltage switching across a wide load range, and gallium nitride FETs for the switching devices, this makes it possible to achieve more than 90% efficiency across most of the input voltage range with good line regulation.

High voltage gain DC-DC resonant converter
In this paper, a DC-DC resonant converter with high voltage gain and small size is studied. To reduce the size and weight of this converter, the operating frequency should be as high as possible. In this research, the frequency changes from 120 to 200 kHz. Due to the high operating frequency, it is necessary to reduce the switching losses using soft switching methods. Resonant converters are su...

A new resonant switch and a new family of zerocurrent and zero-voltage mixed-mode switching quasi-resonant converters (QRC’s) called single-cycle resonant converters (SCRC’s) are proposed to improve the performance of the conventional QRC’s. The proposed SCRC’s, which include two active switches operated with zero-current switching (ZCS) and zero-voltage switching (ZVS), respectively, show very...
