Patent ID: 11545942

Abstract:
Example embodiments relate to push-pull class E amplifiers. One example push-pull class E amplifier includes an input configured for receiving a signal to be amplified. The push-pull class E amplifier also includes an output configured for outputting the signal after amplification. Additionally, the push-pull class E amplifier includes a printed circuit board having a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer. Further, the push-pull class E amplifier includes a first amplifying unit and a second amplifying unit. Yet further, the push-pull class E amplifier includes a balun, a capacitive unit, a first line segment, a second line segment, a third line segment, and a fourth line segment. The first line segment and the second line segment are arranged on the first dielectric layer. A combined length of the third line segment and the fourth line segment corresponds to a quarter wavelength of an operational frequency of the amplifier.
