Appeal No. 1996-3126
Application No. 08/300,586
11, 13 through 20, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31, 33, 34, 36, 37, and 39
through 51 have been canceled. In addition, in a Reply Brief,
filed
June 17, 1996, appellants canceled claims 8 through 10, 12,
28, 30, and 32. Accordingly, claims 2, 3, 5, 21 through 23,
25, 35, 38, and 52 through 55 remain before us on appeal.
Appellants' invention relates to a high power radio
frequency power amplifier. The response voltage waveform of
the amplifier includes a substantial voltage at the end of the
response period. Claim 53 is illustrative of the claimed
invention, and it reads as follows:
53. A high power, switch mode radio frequency power amplifier
to provide power to a load comprising:
a. a radio frequency driver;
b. a means for switching responsive to said driver wherein
said means for switching operates rapidly and is capable of
alternatingly establishing a conductive state for a conductive
time period and a non-conductive state for a response time
period;
c. a means for providing a supply voltage to said switch;
d. a means for conditioning responsive to said supply
voltage wherein said means for conditioning acts to create a
response voltage waveform wherein said response waveform has a
time-varying voltage during said response time period and
wherein said response voltage waveform has substantial voltage
at the end of said response time period.
