Resonant rectifier for high frequency switching converter

A rectifying unit to increase the switching frequency of a power converter is presented. The rectified current in the secondary of the power converter is commuted with this unit by a resonant technique and the commutation period can be reduced remarkably. As a result, the switching frequency can be raised significantly. Analysis and experimental confirmation are also presented.<<ETX>>
