Abstract

A method of transmitting a pulse signal composed of a combination of a positive pulse and a negative pulse through a semiconductor switch providing a conduction modulation in the on-state, the positive pulse and negative pulse flowing through the semiconductor switch in the forward and reverse directions, respectively, relative to the semiconductor switch. An offset current is superposed upon the pulse signal so as to make the absolute value of the positive pulse larger than that of the negative pulse.
