Abstract:

Based on multi-frequency shift, a novel technology was proposed for controlling gradient amplifier in magnetic resonance imaging. Phase-locked-loop (PLL) circuit was used to achieve phase shift, and insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) full-bridge to achieve parallel output current and output power inductor. An output negative feedback system and average current control on every bridge were used to achieve high power, low ripple and low noise current output for the amplifier. The technology was validated on a custom-made gradient amplifier.

Key words: multi-frequency shift, gradient amplifier, magnetic resonance imaging, insulated-gate bipolar transistor
