Abstract
An amplifier circuit includes an amplifier having an amplifier input and an amplifier output. A transformer disposed to provide a signal for driving a load includes a primary winding in series with the amplifier output. A secondary winding of the transformer is coupled to the amplifier input where the primary winding and the secondary winding are arranged such that a portion of a magnetic field generated by the primary winding couples to the secondary winding so as to establish a magnetically coupled feedback loop from the amplifier output to the amplifier input. A loop gain of the magnetically coupled feedback loop is substantially independent of an impedance of the load and is defined at least in part by a coupling factor and turn-ratio of the transformer. The load may be included within an output load arrangement including a balun.
