Abstract
A class E RF amplifier, which can operate into any load conditions without need for other additional circuitry to protect transistors, is introduced. This is provided by a new topology which incorporates inductive clamp circuitry to the basic class E amplifier circuit. Class E amplifiers with this topology can be used in plasma applications where the load conditions are dynamic.
