POWER CONVERTER UTILIZING A TRANSMISSION LINE

摘要

A DC-DC power converter having a power source, a load, and a transmission line terminated at one end. A first switch is electrically connected between the power source and a second end of the transmission line and movable between an open and a closed position. A second switch is electrically connected between the second end of the transmission line and the load and is movable between an open and a closed position. A switch control circuit switches the first and second switches between their respective open and closed positions. A pulse forming network forms the transmission line to store the charge in the transmission line.

1. A DC-DC power converter comprising:
a power source, a load, a capacitor connected in parallel with said load, a transmission line terminated at one end, a first switch electrically connected between said power source and a second end of said transmission line and movable between an open and a closed position, a second switch electrically connected between said second end of said transmission line and said load and movable between an open and a closed position, a switch control circuit for switching said first and second switches between said open and said closed position at a sufficiently high frequency so that a wave is propagated through said transmission line, wherein said transmission line comprises a pulse forming network.
