    Abstract: A switch-mode power amplifier circuit using high power, low distortion waveforms is connected to an electromagnetic load to provide a high degree of control over the load. The circuit comprising a plurality of half-bridge networks having outputs combined at a summation point. The half-bridge networks are switched to provide power outputs sequenced to generate an interlaced output at the summation point which is operably connected to the load so that for a given switching frequency of the networks the operational frequency of the circuit is increased. The sequencing of the half-bridge outputs to generate an interlaced output facilitates the reduction of the switching frequency of individual switching components within the half-bridges while at least maintaining the overall operational frequency of the circuit. For N half-bridges operating at ƒkHz, the overall operational frequency of the circuit is NƒkHz.
