Design of phase-controlled class E inverter with asymmetric circuit configuration

A design of phase-controlled class E inverter with asymmetric circuit configuration is presented. By using the presented design method, it is possible to derive the design values, which let the inverters achieve zero-voltage switching continuously in the control range, are derived. By carrying out circuit experiments, it is verified that the experimental results agree with numerical predictions quantitatively, and the validity of the presented design procedure is denoted.
