  • Abstract
    The possibility of constant output power that is independent of load resistance is investigated. The only possibility is shown to be the trivial case in which the output power is zero. It is concluded that, for load-independent class-E operation, a different class-E inverter configuration, e.g. a class-E inverter with finite DC-feed inductance, may prove to be useful
