This program simplifies the design of the single-ended class E amplifier. Operation is intuitive and encourages circuit exploration:
- Each of the six design parameters can be specified using a freeform entry scheme.
- Each of those parameters can be "tuned" by clicking on the " 1%" and "-1%" buttons. This allows instant feedback regarding what parameter affects what schematic trait.
- Each parameter has a default value and entries are checked to reduce the probability of ridiculous results.
- As an option the program will read a user-entered load value and match the amplifier to that value of load using an added L-network.
- Data are written automatically to a "last session" file at program exit time, allowing a simplified program restart.
- Your design can be written to a file with a path and name of your choosing for later recovery. This is in addition to the automatically-written last session file.
- The program also writes a schematic (.ASC) file to drive the LTspice simulator from Linear Technology.
