Hi Brian, congratulations you have discovered Class-E. It is possible to "mis-tune" the aerial so that the correct reactance is reflected back to the PA to satisfy the conditions for Class-E. Finbar
Hi Chris - I've been dabbling with some PA circuits recently - the usual hard switching, push-pull fets and transformer output follwed by a pi (C-L-C) Lowpass filter. One trick I did discover was tha
I'm still beavering away on my new TX and now have stopped blowing up the PA devices (fingers crossed). I've incorporated some of the suggestions gratefully received:- - Higher voltage FETs - IRF630'
