Abstract :
A novel high frequency switching rectifier, termed the quantum boost series resonant rectifier (QBSRR), is proposed. This rectifier provides the input line AC with a unity power factor. With this proposed scheme, several advantages such as low switching loss and wide output voltage range can be obtained.
