Abstract

Gradient power amplifier (GPA) systems and methods are provided. A GPA system may include a plurality of paralleled GPAs; and at least one controller operably coupled to the plurality of paralleled GPAs. The at least one controller may be configured to perform operations including: obtaining a total current parameter of the plurality of paralleled GPAs; determining, based on the total current parameter and a target current parameter, a first difference value; and determining, based on the first difference value, a first control parameter of a first GPA of the plurality of paralleled GPAs, wherein the first control parameter is configured to control an output current of the first GPA.
