Study of Harmonic Suppression Method Based on the Class D Amplifier

Article Preview

Abstract:

Class D power amplifier has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, high efficiency, large output power, and small distortion, therefore is applied widely in the audio power amplifier integrated circuit. But because of existing higher harmonic components, the total harmonic distortion (THD) is high. In this paper, for the characteristics of class D amplifier, a feed-forward control circuit is added to the amplifier output terminal, and a composite filter is used to inhibit output harmonics further. The simulation results show that, the method can reduce the system THD effectively and improve the performance of the amplifier.
