Where Can I Find Analytical Resources for Class D Amplifiers?

AI Thread Summary
Analytical resources for Class D amplifiers can be found in manufacturers' application notes and datasheets, which provide in-depth equations and explanations not typically covered in college curricula. A recommended starting point is a specific Texas Instruments document that serves as a gateway to a comprehensive library of related devices. While some participants express a preference for traditional vacuum tube amplifiers, the focus remains on finding reliable analytical materials for Class D technology. The discussion highlights the importance of practical resources in understanding modern amplifier design. Overall, users are encouraged to explore both technical documents and community insights for deeper knowledge.

Does anyone know a good book about Class D amplifiers, or perhaps some other resources? I'm looking for a place where they have a good analytical approach. Equations and stuff, and explanations thereof. Any takers?

Manufacturers' appnotes and datasheets are where one learns the stuff that's not yet made its way into college curricula.

I'd start someplace like this
http://www.ti.com/lit/sl/slyy013g/slyy013g.pdf
it's a portal into a library of lots of devices that do what you are asking about.

I still prefer vacuum tubes and output transformers for audio.

here's a tube amp with Bluetooth interface

tube amp link is posted for interest, not an endorsement
just the incongruity of it appealed to me

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.)
