Introduction

This thesis investigates the various aspects of the theory, design and construction of a Class-DE type inverter and how these affect the power and frequency limits over which a Class-DE inverter can feasibly be used to produce AC (or RF) power. To this extent, an analysis of Class-DE operation in a half-bridge inverter is performed. A similar approach to Hamill is adopted but a different time reference was used. This allows the concept of a conduction angle to be introduced and hence enables a more intuitive understanding of the equations thereafter.
