01 Jan 2003 47 Citations | Class-E power amplifiers [1]–[6] achieve significantly higher efficiency than for conventional Class-B or -C. Class E operates the transistor as an on/off switch and shapes the voltage and current waveforms to prevent simultaneous high voltage and high current in the transistor; that minimizes the power dissipation, especially during the switching transitions. |
21 Citations | It is a promising candidate to design broadband and high-efficiency power amplifiers. |
21 Citations | Compared with the classical class-E power amplifier, the presented class-E power amplifier with shunt filter has a higher achievable maximum frequency and requires less quality factor of the filter. |
