摘要

GaN HEMTs significantly enhance power amplifier performance, yet high-speed switching induces severe transient oscillations in Dual-Buck Symmetrical Half-Bridge Converters (DBSHBC), leading to waveform distortion. This study develops a unified terminal impedance model for GaN HEMTs and freewheeling diodes, which achieves a 1.44% error in predicting oscillation frequency and reveals that reducing power loop inductance is critical for oscillation suppression. To address low-frequency harmonic distortion from traditional decoupling capacitors, this paper analyzed capacitor parameters and spatial layouts and introduced a Bridge-Arm-Side High-Frequency Decoupling C-RC Snubber Circuit Oscillation Suppression Strategy. Experimental results demonstrate that this strategy reduces GaN HEMT turn-off oscillation periods by 29.99% and freewheeling diode oscillation periods by 11.23%, while effectively eliminating low-frequency harmonic distortion. The proposed method maintains high-frequency suppression without compromising waveform integrity, enabling higher precision in power amplifier applications.
