| A self-adjusting sinusoidal power source for high-frequency AC distributed power bus is presented and tested experimentally. The power inverter is based on a Current-Fed Push-Pull Parallel-Resonant Inverter (CFPPRI), which includes a variable inductor and a frequency tracking mechanism to insure soft switching. The power source can drive reactive, non-linear, switched, and non-constant loads with a sinusoidal signal at a desirable frequency. The response of the power driver to a 60% to 100% step in the load power was found to stabilize within three high frequency cycles.
