This paper presents the design of zero current switching ZCS pulse frequency modulation type DC-DC converter for magnetron power supply. A magnetron serving as the microwave source in a microwave oven is driven by a switch mode power supply (SMPS). SMPSs have the advantages of improved efficiency, reduced size and weight, regulation and the ability to operate directly from the converter DC bus. The demands of the load system and the design of the power supply required to produce constant power at 4[kV]. A magnetron power supply requires the ability to limit the load current under short circuit conditions. The current source series resonant converter is a circuit configuration which can achieve this. The main features of the proposed converter are an inherent protection against a short circuit at the output, a high voltage gain and zero current switching over a large range of output power. These characteristics make it a viable choice for the implementation of a high voltage magnetron power supply.

This paper proposed a boost input type single stage resonant power supply for driving magnetron device. The proposed power supply can control both input power factor and output power at the same time. Also, because ZVS is achieved using the resonance between leakage inductance and resonant capacitance, switching losses are drastically reduced. To prevent breakdown or moding phenomenon of the magnetron due to excessive starting voltage, variable frequency ignition method is also proposed. Experimental results for the prototype power supply are presented and discussed to verify the validity of the proposed power supply.

For the magnetron, two kinds of auxiliary power is required to generate proper heat and electromagnetic field. In this paper the development of filament power supply and magnet power supply for high power industrial magnetron is studied. The filament power supply which is generate proper heat, even it doesn't require high power like main power supplies, has many consideration such as high voltage insulation and power control coordinated with high voltage cathod current to maintain constant heat generation. The novel control method using constant resistance control is proposed for accurate control of filament power supply.

This paper describes a power supply aimed at the production of plasma and its control method for a magnetron sputter in thin film coating process of PVD(Physical Vapor Deposition). Plasma load changes its impedance characteristic easily according to operating conditions and frequently produces electric arc. So. in this paper, a plasma power supply with improved output control performance in the transient state for the plasma load is presented. Also, it includes a strategy that can detect arc rapidly and reduce arc energy effectively into a load. The validity of the proposed power supply through experimentation on 20kW system was proved.

This paper describes a power supply of a CW magnetron for driving a electrodeless plasma lamp. The proposed power supply consists of a power factor controller, a series resonant ZVS half bridge inverter, a high voltage leakage transformer, and two IGBT drives. From the simulation results, it was confirmed that the proposed circuits can control the input power of the magnetron up to 33.3[%] linearly by adjust driving frequency of the inverter.

This paper proposes the boost input type resonant power supply for driving the magnetron device of the high-capacity microwave oven. Circuit topology of the proposed power supply is the boost input type resonant converter which uses the resonance between transformer leakage inductance and resonance capacitance. Proposed power supply obtains high power factor more than 98% through continuous current mode pulse width modulation. To verify the validity of the proposed power supply, operation principle in the steady state is analyzed and experimental results are presented.
