A new type of high-frequency high-efficiency tuned power amplifier is proposed, analyzed and verified experimentally. It is called Class DE tuned power amplifier because its circuit topology is very similar to that of the conventional Class D amplifier and the operation of each switch satisfies the Class E switching conditions when switch turns on. Class E switching conditions are achieved by giving a shunt capacitor to each switch and making a dead-time between the switch-on-times. These conditions realize that the amplifier operates at higher frequency than conventional Class D amplifier. The switch voltage stress has kept on the same level to the conventional Class D amplifier. The measured efficiency was over 96% at 1 MHz.
