High-power wide-bandwidth TRAPATT circuits

TRAPATT devices show great potential in the area of pulsed amplifiers for phased array radar systems. In order to simultaneously achieve high peak power and large bandwidths, however, careful attention must be focused on the circuit needs of these devices. General circuit conditions consistent with the requirements of high peak power and broad bandwidth are described in this paper. The operation of two especially promising circuits-lumped element and coupled bar-are discussed and the results presented. Finally, it is shown that class-C operation, aside from its advantage of hardware simplification, offers significant bandwidth enhancement.

Design of adaptive dead-time control circuit for resonant half-bridge driver

To decrease the switching loss and the dead-time effect of resonant half-bridge inverter, a novel adaptive dead-time control circuit of resonant half-bridge driver Integrated Circuit (IC) is presented. Without increasing the pin number of IC, this circuit takes a novel strategy to adaptively regulate dead time to a temperate range between high and low thresholds. The high and low thresholds are adaptive to the fall time of output signal in a half-bridge clock cycle. The IC of the designed circuit is suitable for high-voltage applications. The dead-time regulation range of this circuit achieves 0–3.5?µs. The range of temperate dead-time state is 300?ns. The failure signal of this circuit can protect the IC and peripheral power devices by regulating operation in three clock cycles. Both simulation and measurement of the proposed circuit in a half-bridge driver IC with an operating frequency at 50?kHz are presented based on the 0.5?µm 700?V BCD process. The results of simulation and measurement show that the presented circuits’ performance is perfect.
