Hello everybody,

I have seen the structure of a resonant power invert e.g. class E ZVS and it is no different than that of the class E ZVS power amplifier.

My question is: Depending upon the application, they receive one name or the other ? If not, why there are 2 different names for them ?

Thank you !
 

The above difference in name (at least) is stated in 2 different books from the same author. Books are called: Resonant power converters and RF power amplifiers by Kazimierczuk on pages 335 and 243 respectively.

 

They're effectively equivalent terms, but depending on the context you'll see one used instead of the other. In radio or microwaves they'll call it an amplifier, in switchmode power supplies or low frequency applications you may see it called an inverter.
