Abstract

In this paper, a planar integrated network consisting of a diode rectifier, RC snubber and LC filter is presented. The application of this integrated network in existing topologies is discussed. The design and analysis of the different subcircuits of the integrated network are described, in terms of modelling and physical construction. Some of the materials and manufacturing techniques of the integrated network are discussed. A prototype is constructed and evaluated experimentally
