Re: Simple RF power oscillator

Use Google search terms: "solid state tesla coil" AND circuit AND schematic, Turns up 65 hits

There are some mosfet ham radio output stages that use a mosfet driver chip that output 40-50 watts of carrier for an AM transmitter - but simple?

If I wanted a SIMPLE power oscillator in the 100 KHZ range, I'd get a pair of power transistors with a good high frequency response and wind a simple air core center tapped coil and use the more or less ubiquitous push-pull, cross coupled power inverter circuit to drive the tank circuit.

See: He's done just that

If I wanted SIMPLE I'd start with the 1962 "RCA Transistor Manual" for some ideas. They have schematics for a very simple 100 Khz (kilo cycles in those days) ten watt oscillator that uses a single germanium (!) transistor with a 28 volt supply and besides a tuned tank uses only one resistor and one capacitor.

Put a silicon transistor into the circuit and boost the voltage and you have a 50 watt oscillator . . .

They also show a 28 KHZ oscillator for 5 watts.

Again scroll down the page and there's the pretty close to the '62 transistor manual oscillator using one mosfet with an input power of

I can scan and post the '62 schematic to alt.binaries.schematics.electronics if you want, but you are just not searching hard enough or effectively enough - the stuff you want is on the web.
