This thesis discusses the design, construction and testing of a highefficiency, 100 MHz, 1 kW, Class-E solid state power amplifier. The design was performed with the aid of computer simulations using electronic design software (ADS). The amplifier was constructed around Ampleon's BLF188XR LDMOS transistor in a single ended design. The results for 100 MHz operation show a power added efficiency of 82% at 1200 W pulsed power output. For operation at 102 MHz results show a power added efficiency of 86% at 1050 W pulsed power output. Measurements of the drain- and gate voltage waveforms provide validation of Class-E operation.
