Integrated Multi-Port Generator-Rectifier Device and Method

An integrated multi-port generator-rectifier device includes multiple passive output ports provided from a plurality of passive-rectifier windings on a common, single magnetic structure. The passive-rectifier windings interact with a plurality of magnetic poles. Coils in the passive rectifier windings are serially connected. Each of the passive rectifier windings has a pitch as that is a fraction of magnet pole pitch and a pattern to magnetically decouple back emf phases of the separate rectifiers. The device further includes an active port provided by an active rectifier.
