Push-pull amp

I have some push-pull questions so I am going to build a model something like this:






I want to play with a simple push-pull NPN amplifier running in class AB.  I
have big stash of PN2222 so I want to use it because it is on hand. (I know that it
is a crummy RF part... but this is an R&D activity for some personal growth...
I will move on to real parts once I have a bit more experience.)



PS... the I have posted some updates in red to my own
questions below.



 

Q1. What size inductor do I need for L1?

In this phase L1 is not critical to choke the RF from the
power supply.



If you use an inductor, pick a value that is going to be at least 150 XL ohms at the
lowest frequency and a self resonant frequency higher than the highest frequency you
intend to use.



 

Q2. I would guess that L1 could be replaced with a resistor since it is really controlling
the current at the collectors.   I need to understand why the example has
an inductor in there since it is not a tuned circuit.

150 ohm resistor would probably be fine.



If you use an inductor, pick a value that is going
to be at least 150 XL ohms at the lowest frequency and a self resonant frequency higher
than the highest frequency you intend to use.



 

Q3. How do I determine the output impedance? (It might be helpful to know if I want
to feed a 50 ohm filter.)

In theory it should look something like:







Hmmm... more reading before I can visit the work bench.
