Conference Chair Jan Abildgaard Pedersen

Michael A. E. Andersen, 27th Conference Papers Chair

For more than a decade efficient audio power amplification has evolved and today switch-mode audio power amplification in various forms are the state-of-the-art. The technical steps that lead to this evolution are described and in addition many of the challenges still to be faced and where extensive research and development are needed is covered.
