Summary:
A Newton-type algorithm for determining the passive elements including the class-E amplifiers is presented. To ensure the convergence of the Newton method, the initial estimation is efficiently provided by the PSO algorithm, where the responses of class-E amplifiers are approximately expressed in a closed form. It is demonstrated in the numerical example that the proposed method determines the passive elements efficiently.
