SELF TUNING HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY

摘要

A self tuning power supply (10) comprising a signal generator (12) that emits a variable frequency signal, an amplifier (14) that receives the variable frequency signal and emits an amplified variable frequency signal, and a transformer (16) that receives and steps up the amplified variable frequency signal, creating an output voltage that corresponds to a desired voltage. A measuring unit (22) measures the power consumed by the amplifier and provides a reading to a processing unit, which receives such reading and tunes the signal generator to the frequency of resonance of the transformer.
