If you have the transistors switching, doesn't that imply a gate driver in use?I can get both the transistors to switch on and off alternately. I'm not sure what sort of gate driver i need. I'm using dual transformers
Transistors do not have gates. BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistors) have an emitter, a base and a collector. MOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) have a gate, a drain and a source.Hi,

IMHO, BJTs and MOSFETs are both transistors. After all, they both have the word "transistor" in their full names.Transistors do not have gates. BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistors) have an emitter, a base and a collector. MOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) have a gate, a drain and a source.
Words mean what they mean and not what you might think they mean.
Maybe it's because I graduated during the Johnson AdministrationI'll have to go with Ron on this one, transistor is a generic term, and is used as such by most people on this site.
I'll have to admit it makes me pause when I see (or say) BJT transistor or MOSFET transistor.
I'll say it again, I think the OP does not understand Class D correctly, it is not used for RF, and is not really practical for RF. A schematic would clear the issue up. Getting Class D to work for audio using a 100Khz or 1Mhz base frequency already pushes the envelop of frequency response for the vast majority of components.
Pulse Width Modulation
So did I.Maybe it's because I graduated during the Johnson Administration
