Abstract

An amplifier includes an amplifier circuit comprising a switch, the switch configured to provide an output signal responsive to an input signal, the output signal comprising a first output signal at a fundamental frequency and a second signal at a second harmonic of the fundamental frequency, the input signal configured to control the switch according to a nominal 25% off, 75% on cycle, a filter circuit configured to control an impedance presented to the amplifier circuit and a load circuit, at least a part of which is configured to combine with the filter circuit to form an impedance transformation circuit configured to be resonant at the second harmonic of the fundamental frequency.
