A friend asked if I could recommend an amplifier circuit with which he intends to drive a Tesla coil in some experiments. I think this could be done with discrete components pretty easily, but I don't think he is eqiuipped to build and debug such a circuit. Thinking that an integrated or hybrid circuit would be easier for him to work with, and having searched around the web today, finding nothing, I am turning to those of you have a better idea of what kinds of integrated and hybrid solutions are out there. If an inexpensive pre-built amplifier is available, that would be even better.
Here is what I think he needs:
• Fixed gain of 10x to 20x
• Output to 10V P-P
• Frequency range (nearly) DC to 10 MHz, being pretty flat
• Capable of supplying hundreds of milliamps
• It must be linear to handle sine waves, some distortion is ok
Any ideas? Thank you in advance for considering this problem.
