Abstract :
New, simpler and conspicuous relationships were derived for the normalized load resistance and other circuit parameters as functions of the diode conduction duty factor. Conclusions are drawn from a comparison of the 13 Class E low dv/dt and low di/dt rectifiers analysed so far, which may help in further studies. The optimum operating frequencies, the domains of parameter values and the function of different components are emphasized
