Date Issued:

Summary:
Classes of operation of solid state power amplifiers are surveyed with an emphasis on high efficiency radio frequency applications. Classes A through H and S are covered, with the first three classes combined in a unified analysis. Time domain analyses of the switched-mode classes, D through S, include the effects of stray reactances, switch transition times, and load variations. For class E, a point of optimum operation is derived, and component values are determined assuming optimum operation. The multi-resonator and transmission line forms of class F are analyzed. In the last section, audio amplifier and modulator applications of classes G, H, and S are discussed. The characteristics of all the classes of power amplifiers discussed are summarized in a table at the end of the paper.
