Electrodeless fluorescent lamps model operated at high frequency

This paper presents an induction electrodeless fluorescent lamp model for simulation, which employs electric equivalents variables inductor and resistance. Because of the lamp negative impedance feature, it is necessary an electrical equivalent model to perform the lamp behavior in simulations. The induction lamp may be represented by an equivalent inductor in parallel with an equivalent resistance. In this paper the resistance uses exponential and the inductance polynomial fitting. The model was implemented in OrCAD/PSpice. Simulation results and experimental data are presented to verify the model feasibility and accuracy.
