In this work, a switching H-bridge gradient power amplifier utilizing eGaN devices is implemented. A single-stage 150 V/ 50 A full-bridge GPA for an insert gradient array system at 1 MHz effective switching frequency is fabricated and tested. Pulse width modulation signals are generated digitally using a Virtex 7 family FPGA board. A single-stage LC low pass filter is designed to attenuate the ripple current.
