Benefits of class E resonant rectifier

I have recently been reading about VHF switch mode power supplies and one thing that I haven't been able to figure out is what really is the point of resonant rectification. I could understand the point from the load matching point of view i.e. the…

Impedance Matching a switching Circuit

I'm trying to mathematically model a Class E amplifier in the hopes of deriving a relationship between the input and output (Transfer Function). One particular difficulty i'm facing is impedance matching the load to the rest of the circuit. The…

How to design a class-E amplifier with a more complicated load (tesla coil)

I'm currently trying to build a 4MHz Tesla Coil powered by a Class-E amplifier. I've managed to design and simulate such amplifiers with a load consisting of a resistor and a coil or a capacitor using this paper from Sokal. But the load I actually…

input of class E amp

i don't want to lose time on understanding it's theory, i just wanna know what kind of input does it take in, does it take a PWM input like the class D (the one below) ? or just a ON/OFF signal with the frequency of the output and a duty cycle of…
