Greetings!

Hi, my name is Xin Zan. Thanks for coming!

I am striving to provide the proper energy and power for any applications that require energy and power, considering factors such as proper waveforms, time, amount, amplitude, polarity, frequency, size, position, cost, and e.t.c.. These efforts may involve materials, electronics, power, control, and electromagnetics.

Currently, I am focusing on

• 3 - 300 MHz Power Conversion and Wireless Transmission

1. RF power generation and delivery in the HF and VHF bands (3–300 MHz), using switched-mode power amplifiers w/ or w/o impedance matching networks, and operating with either continuous waves (CW) or pulsed waves.

2. RF electromagnetic field customization and manipulation in the near-field and reactive near-field regions.

• Pulse Power Electronics, including high electric field, high magnetic field, high current, and high voltage generation and distribution.
