TY - GEN AU - Meißer,Michael TI - Resonant Behaviour of Pulse Generators for the Efficient Drive of Optical Radiation Sources Based on Dielectric Barrier Discharges SN - KSP/1000036098 PY - 2013/// PB - KIT Scientific Publishing KW - low inductance KW - high frequency KW - high voltage KW - Silicon Carbide KW - gate drive N1 - Open Access N2 - Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) excimer lamps emit vacuum-UV optical radiation. This work presents novel methods for efficiently operating DBDs with short, high-voltage pulses. Transformer-less systems utilising SiC power semiconductor switches are presented. Pulse frequencies of up to 3.1 MHz and peak inverter efficiencies of 92 % were achieved. The work encloses both mathematical backgrounds of pulsed resonant circuits and practical implementation of low-inductive power stages UR - https://www.ksp.kit.edu/9783731500834 UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/58328 ER -
