Multi-Frequency Class-D Inverter for Rectifier Characterisation in High Frequency Inductive Power Transfer Systems

A voltage source Class-D inverter was exploited for the first time in a test rig for IPT rectifier characterisation independent of the magnetic link. The developed test rig makes the measurement of ac power feasible with commercially available passive voltage and current probes. while providing IPT conditions for the circuits …

Fault Tolerance Considerations for Long Endurance AUVs

As the use of Commercial-Off-the-Shelf components is often a project objective including obsolescence management. there is an added requirement for DNCS to institute regular software and hardware updates. referred to as technology refresh. and is dictated by the relatively short supportability lifespan of commercial components. To allow for future technology …
