| Title: |
Plasma Lamp With Stable Feedback Amplification and Method Thereof |
| Abstract: |
A plasma lamp with a positive-loop feedback topology, having a resonating
waveguide body and at least one amplifier critically coupled to the body
which is stable under all operating conditions both before a plasma is
formed and after the plasma reaches steady state. An iterative method for
configuring the lamp circuit includes determining the load trajectory of
each amplifier under all operating conditions, and overlaying it on a
polar-plot showing regions of stability, conditional stability, and
instability. If the load trajectory passes through an unstable region,
circuit alterations are made to avoid that region.
