Abstract:
Methods and devices for power conversion. High frequency electromagnetic waves traveling in coupled transmission lines and their reflective properties are used to perform the power conversion. The use of high frequency operation allows for physically small transmission lines. The high operating frequencies also allow for small filter capacitors at the outputs of the power converter and hence allowing for fast response times in load changes or fast signal changes in case of a gate driver. The transmission lines can be implemented on the printed circuit board, laminate or even on chip. In case of a step up converter the switching elements are not subjected to the higher output voltage levels of the power converter and can therefore be implemented in a lower voltage process technology. Further, embodiments with and without galvanic isolation are described and physical embodiments to reduce undesired electromagnetic emissions are disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A power conversion circuit comprising:\n an electric power source having a first terminal and a second terminal; a switching element; an output terminal; a first termination element; a second termination element; a first wave propagation medium having a first and a second terminal; a second wave propagation medium having a first and a second terminal; wherein the switching element is coupled between the first terminal of the first wave propagation medium and the first terminal of the electric power source and the first termination element coupled to the second terminal of the first wave propagation medium and the second terminal of the second wave propagation medium is coupled to the output terminal and the second termination element is coupled to the first terminal of the second wave propagation medium; a forward traveling, from the first terminal to the second terminal, wave in the first wave propagating medium; a backward traveling, from the second terminal to the first terminal, wave in the first wave propagating medium; wherein the forward traveling wave and the backward traveling wave form a standing wave in the first wave propagation medium and the switching element adjusts the reflection coefficient at the first terminal of the first wave propagation medium and injects energy into the first wave propagation medium to sustain the standing wave.
