Patent Images
1. A high-frequency converter for conducting phase modulated, resonant power conversion, comprising:
- (a) first high frequency inverter module for producing first AC voltage at first output frequency;
(b) second high frequency inverter module for producing second AC voltage at second output frequency, which is substantially the same as said first output frequency and is out of phase with said first output voltage by a selected angular phase displacement;
(c) mixing means for mixing said first and second output voltages to produce a high frequency carrier which has a selected base frequency impressed on the sidebands thereof;
(d) tank circuit means for being driven by high frequency carrier and for suppressing harmonics in said high frequency carrier;
(e) rectifying means for rectifying said carrier;
(f) filtering means for filtering the rectified carrier; and
(g) phase modulating means for adjusting the relative angular phase displacement between the output of said first and second high frequency inverter modules to control the base frequency of the line voltage from said filtering means.

Abstract
The invention relates to a power processing technique and device wherein a tank circuit is excited at resonance, in association with two phase modulated high frequency link converters in an arrangement wherein control of the operation is easily achieved even with operation at resonance. The tank circuit is series resonant and is connected on the primary side of a transformer between two full bridge inverters and serves to control operation of the device even when operated at resonance. The technique finds special utility in power conversion applications.
