A high frequency current source converter with adjustable magnitude to drive high power piezoelectric transducers

A general electrical model of a piezoelectric transducer for ultrasound applications consists of a capacitor in parallel with RLC legs. A high power voltage source converter can however generate significant voltage stress across the transducer that creates high leakage currents. One solution is to r...
