Abstract :
This survey paper addresses the progress in class-E power amplifiers during the last decade, from 2000 - Present. Over 200 papers are analyzed in this survey. Both wide bandgap (e.g. SiC and GaN) and narrower bandgap (e.g. GaAs, and Si) devices are considered. A comparison was done in terms of maximum output power, efficiency and operating frequency achieved. Highest performing Class-E power amplifiers are reported.
