Abstract :
A parallel-tuned class E amplifier with finite DC-feed inductance is analyzed to develop equations describing its operation. The equations are used to determine the load-independent properties of the amplifier. It is shown that this topology theoretically can provide simultaneous load-independent output voltage and load-independent efficiency, but cannot provide load-independent output current
