5.15 Push–Pull Class E ZVS RF Power Amplifier

A push–pull Class ZVS RF power amplifier with two RF chokes is depicted in Fig. 5.20 [5]. The circuit with the two RFCs can be simplified to the form depicted in Fig. 5.21. This amplifier consists of two transistors, two shunt capacitors c05-math-0897, RFC, center-tapped transformer, and series-resonant circuit driven by the secondary winding of the transformer. The transformer leakage inductance is absorbed into the resonant inductance c05-math-0898, and the transistor output capacitances are absorbed into shunt capacitances c05-math-0899.
