New approach to the design of thyristor and transistor switching circuits

The paper gives a new approach to the design of power electronic circuits. Time periodic functions of excitation and response are required as input data for the design. A sequence of the linear time-invariant circuits is found on the basis of these data. As a result of the synthesis method new switching structures are obtained. The synthesis method presented can be applied to create new thyristor and transistor arrangements, particularly thyristor compensators.
