Abstract :
Design criteria of class E amplifiers are reviewed and extended for high frequency application. In particular, starting from classical class-E formulas an additional tuning on fundamental output load becomes mandatory to take into account practical limitations arising in high frequency applications. Two examples of class E amplifier designs for X-band application (GaAs based) and C-band (GaN based) are presented.
