Default Re: Build of a Micropower AM 'Pantry' Transmitter

Actually, what little I know about resonant switched-mode power supply design is stirring in the back of my long-term memory - I think there might be some analogies there..
Class E can be used backwards as a high efficiency synchronous rectifier. The only snag is that, like the transmitter, the tuning will be counter-intuitive - maximum efficiency is not the same as maximum output.
