Abstract
In this paper, we propose the Class E frequency multiplier driving Class E amplifier. This circuit is composed of two series connected Class E amplifiers. One of these Class E amplifiers works like a driver circuit. The proposed circuit can reduce the total power dissipation of the driving stage and can work with higher efficiency. Therefore, the proposed circuit works at higher frequency than that of traditional circuits and can prevent out-sizing of a driver circuit. Finally, we present analytical and experimental results
