Can I drive a class E amp with an SSB signal?

You can but you won't like the results. :-)

Funny, Nate Sokal, who owned the patent thinks you can.

I'm assuming that "drive a class E amp with an SSB signal"
means an SSB signal on the input, i.e. linear amplification
is required. How does Mr. Sokal linearize the non-linear
characteristics of the Class-E amp? I'm not saying it can't
be done - but I don't know how to do it and there's no claim
of linear operation on any of the Class-E Amp web pages.

its only required if you want the output to sound like the input. there are
lots of amplifiers on 27mhz and other bands where this is not a requirement.

Well, maybe I presumed too much. I certainly wouldn't like it but
of course, I wouldn't force my likes and dislikes on everyone. :-)
