摘要
Power amplifiers have a wide range of applications in civilian and military areas. In this article, a modular multilevel switching power amplifier (MMSPA) with high power and high output performance is investigated. Due to mismatched parameters or proper control signals among the modules, there may be significant temperature differences among the modules of MMSPA under long-term operations. Uneven temperatures among modules directly lead to premature aging and failure, which in turn affects the overall system reliability. Aiming at the thermal stress imbalance among modules of MMSPA, a model predictive control based on the thermal stress balance is proposed. First, the mathematical model is constructed for the MMSPA. Then, the junction temperature estimation method based on the power loss calculation is presented. On this basis, the finite set control switch state optimization and the switch distribution algorithm for thermal balance are presented. Finally, the proposed active thermal control is verified by the simulation and the experimental results.
