    摘要: An optimal phase-shifted control for a series resonant converter involves instantaneous monitoring of state variables (resonant capacitor voltage resonant inductor current and output voltage) and implementation of a control law for providing a quasi-squarewave-with-maximum-coasting (QSWMC) mode of operation. The control law uses the instantaneous resonant inductor current, the instantaneous resonant capacitor voltage and the output voltage to determine the optimal time to perform switching events in order to operate on a desired control trajectory. The QSWMC converter operates at a minimized frequency in a super-resonant mode with zero-voltage switching, minimized electrical stresses, and reduced electromagnetic interference due to nearly sinusoidal resonant tank currents.

    摘要: An amplification device is provided for driving a gradient coil in an MR system, wherein the gradient coil is required to generate a rapidly changing gradient magnetic field during a first time period, and a substantially constant field during an immediately following second time period. The device includes a adjustable bus, for providing first and second voltage levels, and a switching or PWM amplifier. A switch is coupled between the bus and the switching amplifier for applying the first voltage to the amplifier during the first time period, and the second voltage to the amplifier during the second time period. The switching amplifier comprises an inverter for generating a PWM voltage in response to its input, and an LC filter for converting the PWM wave into a DC voltage. The switching amplifier generates a substantially higher coil driving voltage during the first period, in response to the first voltage level, than during the second period in response to the second voltage level. The switching amplifier may have a substantially higher frequency of operation during the second period than during the first period, so that the LC filter is much more effective in removing a distorting ripple component during such second time period, when the gradient coil is being used to acquire MR data.

    摘要: A plurality of low-voltage, series-connected input dc-dc converters provide the input to a low-frequency, high-voltage dc-ac output bridge converter suitable for driving a gradient coil in an MRI system. The relatively low-voltage, series-connected dc-dc converters, or choppers, control the gradient coil current, while the dc-ac converter bridge steers the current to the proper coil polarity. A binary weighting of the voltage ratings of the input choppers results in the lowest voltage unit doing most of the high-frequency switching. Such an amplifier configuration is modular and allows for different gradient coil requirements to be met with a common approach by applying a predetermined number of choppers and bridges.
