摘要
A high power resonance tracking ultrasonic amplifier is described. The amplifier is a class D type inverter, configured as a half-bridge in which the output MOSFETs are driven into saturation when on. The resonance tracking system makes use of a new method of frequency locking; admittance locking is used to track the optimum power conversion frequency for the transducer. This new arrangement offers some advantages over phase locking and motional feedback methods. The system is capable of delivering up to 3 kW at up to 25 kHz in resonance tracking operation.
