POWER AMPLIFICATION FOR PARAMETRIC LOUDSPEAKERS

摘要

A power amplifier (figure 1) for a parametric loudspeaker system which utilizes switch-mode power conversion (110) to increase efficiency. The power amplifier is configured to coordinate the switching frequency of the amplifier with the carrier frequency of the parametric loudspeaker system, so a lower switching frequency may be used even though the power amplifier must amplify ultrasonic signals. The amplifier can be further optimised to counteract the reactance of the transducer load (118) at the carrier frequency.
