  • Abstract
    A class E amplifier using the new device - Ge/Si HBT is analyzed and constructed. The nonlinear capacitance of the collector of HBT is calculated with method of Genetic Algorithm and Ronger-Kutta. The non-infinitive inductance in DC-supply circuit has been considered also. The amplifier power efficiency is 87%, output power is 0.26 W in 650 MHz
