    • The present invention relates to a method for compensating non-linearities of a gradient amplifier (1) for powering a gradient coil (16), wherein the non-linearities are caused by the finite dead time of the amplifier and/or by a forward voltage drop, the gradient amplifier (1) comprising a controllable full bridge (8) and an output filter (9), whereby the full bridge (8) is controlled to provide a desired coil current (ic), comprising the steps of receiving a desired duty cycle (aeff) of the gradient amplifier (1), measuring an input current (ifilt) and an output voltage (ucfilt) of the output filter (9), evaluating an modulator duty cycle (amod) as a function of the desired duty cycle (aeff) and the measured input current (ifilt) and the measured output voltage (ucfilt), and providing the modulator duty cycle (amod) for controlling the full bridge (8). The present invention further relates to a gradient amplifier (1) for powering a gradient coil (16) comprising a controllable full bridge (8) comprising at least two half bridges (10), each half bridge (10) having at least two power switches (11) connected in series, whereby each half bridge (10) is tapped at its center point between two the power switches (11), and an output filter (9) connected to the tapped center points of the half bridges (10), a controller unit (4) for providing a desired duty cycle (aeff) of the gradient amplifier (1), a compensation block (5) for providing an modulator duty cycle (amod) as a compensation of the desired duty cycle (aeff) according to any of the above method claims, and a modulator (6) for controlling the power switches (11) according to the modulator duty cycle (amod) provided by the compensation unit (5).
