Abstract

The applied electronics domain has great importance due to many applications, such as energy conversion, directly influencing specific processes involving renewable energy. The development of newer manufacturing processes for many integrated components allows for better overall efficiency in certain switching DC/DC converters used for implementing such low-voltage electric field or X-ray generators. Hence, the work presented in this paper involves the development of a helical resonator using a complex DC/DC low-voltage power supply and other required high-voltage conversion circuits. It also follows that there is a possibility of improving this design using only renewable energy supplies. Following two different approach methods, using a circuit model compared to transmission line mathematics, the standing wave propagation mathematics yields multiple scenarios for building a model that predicts the secondary side natural frequency. Moreover, standing wave occurrence conditions in various-dimensioned conductors were further investigated.
