  • Patent number: 5892404
    Abstract: A linear power amplifier having a pulse density modulated switching power supply including a power supply providing at least a relatively high DC voltage output; a voltage amplifier connected to an external signal source to amplify a relatively low voltage signal received from the external signal source into a relatively high voltage signal; a current amplifier connected to the voltage amplifier to increase the current flow associated with the relatively high voltage signal, as needed, in order to properly drive a load, wherein the current amplifier is powered by a pulse generator. The pulse generator is connected to a first line carrying the relatively high voltage signal to the load, and to a second line supplying power to the current amplifier.

  • Patent number: 5554959
    Abstract: A linear power amplifier having a pulse density modulated switching power supply comprising: power supply means for connection to a source of electrical power and adapted to provide (i) a first, relatively high DC voltage, and (ii) a second, relatively low DC voltage; voltage amplifying means for connection to a signal source and adapted to amplify a first, relatively low voltage signal received from the signal source into a second, relatively high voltage signal; current amplifying means connected to the voltage amplifying means and adapted to increase the current flow of the second, relatively high voltage signal, as needed, in order to properly drive a load, wherein the current amplifying means are normally powered by the second, relatively low DC voltage supplied by the power supply means; and pulse generating means connected to the line carrying the second, relatively high voltage signal to the load, and to the line supplying power to the current amplifying means, the pulse generating means being adapted
