Popis: This paper proposes comprehensive and simplified numerical design procedures for the class-E switching circuits with the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The PSO algorithm does not require approximate solutions and partial differentiation derivations. Therefore, the proposed design method has higher convergence stability than Newton’s method-based design. It is also a feature that the PSO algorithm allows the mismatch between the design condition and the design parameter numbers. As a design example, we successfully draw the multiple design curves of the class-E amplifier and frequency multipliers by one-time optimization execution with the modified PSO algorithm. Besides, we show a pretty simple design procedure of the class-E amplifier, which uses only one evaluation function for determining three design parameters. The design accuracy of the proposed design method does not deteriorate compared with the previous design method. We carried out circuit experiments, which achieved power-conversion efficiency of 94.0%. The circuit experiment showed agreement with numerical predictions, which confirmed the validity and usefulness of the proposed design method.
