Robust integral controllers for high-order class-D power amplifiers
Özet
This study presents variable structure system theory based robust integral controllers for class-D power amplifiers. These amplifiers are highly efficient switching type power amplifiers with negligible losses. Sensorless and current feedback based integral controllers with sliding modes are designed to provide robust tracking performance with negligible phase delays and distortions. The methods are capable of providing high-quality outputs by maximising gain and minimising the tracking error and phase shifts. The validity, feasibility and robustness performance of the controllers are investigated through circuit realisations.
