Annotation: The work is devoted to the features of developing circuit solutions for a high-frequency power converter for a radio communication system. The authors analyze the features of application and operation that require a specific approach to converter design and define the main technical requirements. The main methods to implement an active clamp are considered. When constructing and studying computer models, the shortcomings of known methods for implementing an active clamp with control from a transformer winding were discovered and the methods to eliminate them and to reduce their impact were proposed. The proposed solutions were modeled and their operability and efficiency were confirmed.
