本文針對複金屬燈之操作特性進行研究，其中包括音頻共振現象、光譜能量分佈與發光效率穩態特性。本文爲了使複金屬操作於預期狀態之下，分別設計製作兩種精密的弦波電流驅動與方波電流驅動的安定器之測試電路，其中一個安定器利用串聯共振換流器輸出高頻弦波燈管電流，範圍介於20kHz~300kHz，另一個使用全橋式換流器利用方波電流驅動燈管，範圍介於50Hz~300kHz。而這兩種測試電路的操作頻率與燈管電流皆可獨立調變，此外，燈管功率是由直流鏈電壓調整。
本論文之實驗結果：（1）若以弦波電流和方波電流驅動燈管時，發現光譜能量只有些微不同。（2）當操作頻率逐漸上升時，其發光效率是呈下降趨勢，尤其在低頻時，下降幅度更為明顯。（3）發光效率的減少，相當於燈管功率的降低（4）音頻共振使得弧光不穩定，而不同燈管電流波形對音頻共振之產生有很大關係。
透過本論文的研究結果，可更加了解複金屬燈之穩態操作特性，而且能提供安定器電路設計時完整、明確的參考依據。

The operating characteristics of metal halide lamps are investigated, including acoustic resonance, spectral energy, and luminous efficacy. To operate metal halide lamps at intended conditions, two test sophisticated ballast circuits are built to drive the lamps with sine-wave current and square-wave current, respectively. One ballast employs the series resonant inverter to output sinusoidal lamp current over a high-frequency range from 20 kHz to 300 kHz. The other makes use of the full-bridge inverter to drive the lamps with square-wave current from 50 Hz up to 300 kHz. For both test circuits, the operating frequency and the magnitude of the lamp current can be controlled independently. On the other hand, the lamp power is adjusted by regulating the DC-link power.
Several conclusions are drawn from experimental results: (1) Little difference is found between the lighting spectra of a lamp when driven by sinusoidal current and square-wave current. (2) Luminous efficiency deteriorates as the operating frequency increases. The deterioration is more significant at lower frequencies. (3) Luminous efficiency decreases considerably as the lamp power is reduced. (4) Arc instability from acoustic resonance is highly related to the waveform of the lamp current.
The investigated results give better understanding on the steady state operation of metal halide lamps and provide useful information for the design of the electronic ballasts.
