Abstract

An amplifier stage capable of delivering a peak limited voltage pulse with sharp transitions, at a desired width and duty cycle, and with high efficiency is disclosed. One disclosed embodiment relates to a circuit that includes a tuned class D amplifier that receives an input signal and generates a pulsed RF output signal in response to the input signal. The pulsed RF output signal has a greater power than that of the input signal.
