Abstract

An amplifier, comprising: an amplifying element having an input side and an output side; a first transformer on the output side of the amplifying element arranged to mutually couple a fraction of the output current from the amplifying element onto the input side of the amplifying element; a second transformer on the input side of the amplifying element arranged to increase the input voltage on the input side via mutual coupling of its primary and secondary windings; wherein a primary winding of the first transformer is connected to an output of the amplifying element; wherein a secondary winding of the first transformer is ac connected to a secondary winding of the second transformer; and wherein the primary winding of the first transformer is dc blocked from the secondary winding of the second transformer. The negative and the positive reactive feedback loops are not formed from the same trifilar transformer.
