The obtained waveform proves that the soft-commutation of the main switch is achieved while it gets turned-off and it is observed that there is not much negative current passes through the anti-parallel diode.
This paper presents a novel type of stubs loaded anti-parallel coupled-line.
Furthermore, the co-packaged anti-parallel diode in each of these devices delivers smooth soft reverse recovery characteristics.

As well known, metamaterials have unique properties in comparison with conventional nature materials, such as anti-parallel phase and group velocities, and a zero propagation constant [3-8], and can be realized by means of split-ring resonators (SRRs) or composite right/left-handed transmission line (TL) which is composed of unit cells with a series capacitance and a shunt inductance based on conventional transmission line.
It is in fact the capacitive gaps that radiate in this structure while the inductive meander lines are non-radiating due to the anti-parallel currents flowing on each pair of inductive meander lines.
To achieve zero-voltage switching the anti-parallel diodes conduct during the dead time, just before the active switches get turned on.
Passing a current through the MTJ causes its direction of magnetization to switch betweena parallel or anti-parallel state, which has the effect of switching between low resistance and high resistance.
At the heart of the SVC is the anti-parallel thyfistor valve.
Indeed, PA11 being an odd polyamide, its elementary lattice can theoretically lead to either a parallel or an anti-parallel configuration of the chains with every -CONH- group able to be engaged with another one through hydrogen bonds.
The strongest self-stacking of G and A takes displaced anti-parallel configuration, but un-displaced or "eclipsed" anti-parallel configuration is the most stable for C and T.
The performed switch elements contain a diode located anti-parallel with commutation element, which assuring a demand flowing way similar with from Fig.1.
It is typically implemented with discrete anti-parallel diode pairs.
The a parameter is related to an asymmetry between the number of neutrinos created with axial momenta parallel to the electron momentum and the number created anti-parallel. Momentum conservation couples this asymmetry in neutrino populations to an asymmetry in proton populations.
