LFers,

the usual design equations for class E amplifiers assume that the DC feeding choke has a very large inductance in order to keep the DC current practically constant over the RF cycle. I am in the process of building (yet another) class E CW QRP transmitter and the need for an almost infinite inductance has annoyed me for quite a while. Somewhere between the solder smoke puffs, I did some googling and found this interesting paper:

My current project is a small 80m TX but I think this information is applicable to LF as well.
