This program simplifies the design of the single-ended Class E amplifier.
Editor: This program simplifies The Design of the single-ended Class E amplifier. Operation is intuitive and encourages tuning and 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; see the graphic below. 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. (Tonne Software has no connection with Linear Technology.)

The supplied file is a self-extracting installation routine. The program is installed in a standard manner. You may place its icon on the desktop as a shortcut.

This program uses the revised equations presented in QEX for Jan/Feb 2001. They are close to but seem to be more accurate than the more-commonly used set of equations presented in RF Design for Summer, 1980. you can free download ClassE 2.04 now.
