| description | Enhanced class E inverters (EF<sub>n</sub> or E/F<sub>n</sub>) reduce the high peak switch voltage that is prevalent in class E inverters. Additionally, their stability and load regulation capabilities are improved as compared to class E inverters. This paper proposes an enhanced class E inverter (E/F<sub>3</sub>) with a piezoelectric transformer (PT) replacing the auxiliary resonant networks. This class E/F<sub>3</sub> inverter is designed by adding a tuned auxiliary <i>LC</i> network at the third harmonic of the switching frequency to the class E inverter. Both the primary and auxiliary resonant networks are realized using a piezoelectric transformer (PT). The converter is simulated in LTspice and an experimental prototype is built and tested. It is found that the experimental results concur with the simulation results, with a measured efficiency of 90%. Thus, the theoretical design is verified and the concept of energy extraction is achieved. |
