Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

A class-E amplifier with a clamped switch peak voltage by a Zener diode is proposed and experimented. The effect of the Zener diode on the switch voltage waveform, output power, and efficiency are examined. The experimental verification is presented using a prototype circuit.
