Abstract :
Theoretical considerations are presented to justify the frequent appearance in class-C amplifiers of radio-frequency plate voltages which are greater than the dc plate voltage. A method is developed for predicting the magnitude of this rf voltage under any given set of conditions. This method is then experimentally verified for a given case.
