Abstract

Abstract A D.C. to A.C. converter in which power from a D.C. source fed through the collector-emitter circuit of a transistor is alternately switched on and off by a square wave applied to the base of said transistor. The lower even harmonics are attenuated by a plurality of series resonant circuits, each connected between the collector and emitter, while the lower odd harmonics are blocked from the output by a series of parallel resonant circuits connected between the collector and output, thereby providing a sinusoidal output at a frequency equal to the fundamental frequency of said square wave.
