Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating signals. The signal generator system includes a transformer unit and a plurality of converters. The transformer unit includes a primary input side and a secondary output side connectable to a load. The primary input side includes a plurality of parallel input sections and the secondary output side includes a plurality of output sections connected in series with each output section corresponding to one of the input sections. Each converter has a converter input, a converter output, and a switch module positioned between the converter input and the converter output. The switch module is operable to control a direction of current flow through the converter output. The switch module is adjustable between a plurality of switch states, and each converter is adjustable between a plurality of operational modes. The plurality of operational modes include at least one active mode and at least one inactive mode.
