Acceleware has filed a patent for a signal generator system that includes a transformer unit and multiple converters. The system allows for adjustable operational modes and switch states, with each converter corresponding to an input section of the transformer unit. The converters can induce an output RF signal when in active mode and decouple the input when in inactive mode.

Signal generator system with adjustable converters and switch modules

A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230261588A1) describes a signal generator system that includes a transformer unit and a plurality of converters. The transformer unit has a primary input side and a secondary output side that is connectable to a load. The primary input side includes multiple parallel input sections, while the secondary output side includes multiple output sections connected in series, with each output section corresponding to one of the input sections.
Each converter in the system has a converter input, a converter output, and a switch module positioned between the input and output. The switch module controls the direction of current flow through the converter output and can be adjusted between multiple switch states. The converters can also be adjusted between multiple operational modes, including active and inactive modes.
The converter inputs are connected to a power supply unit, and the converter outputs are connected in parallel to the primary input side of the transformer unit. Each converter output is connected to one of the input sections of the transformer unit. When a converter is in an active mode, the switch module switches between the multiple switch states according to a converter switching pattern, inducing an output RF signal in the corresponding output section. In the inactive mode, the switch module is maintained in a fixed switch state, decoupling the converter input from the corresponding output section.
The system also includes a controller that can adjust the operational mode of each converter by transmitting a converter switch signal. This signal is used by the converter to define the converter switching pattern and operational mode of the switch module. The controller can also control the magnitude of the output RF signal by adjusting the operational mode of at least one converter.
The patent also describes various features of the signal generator system, including different operational modes (such as full bridge and half bridge modes), low power and high power modes, frequency adjustment, voltage conditioning, resonance circuit adjustment, and bypass switches. The system can be used with a load that includes frequency dependent signal emission structures, such as those positioned in a hydrocarbon medium.
Overall, this patent describes a signal generator system with multiple converters and a transformer unit, offering flexibility in operational modes and control over the output RF signal. The system can be adjusted and optimized for different applications and load conditions.
