diagrams are easily constructed.
|| Zi0 || and || Zi || intersect at frequency

fm.
For f < fm
then || Zi0 || < || Zi || ; hence
transistor current decreases as
load current decreases
For f > fm
then || Zi0 || > || Zi || ; hence
transistor current increases as load
current decreases, and transistor
current is greater than or equal to

It is assumed that zero-current switching (ZCS) occurs when the tank input
impedance is capacitive in nature, while zero-voltage switching (ZVS) occurs when
the tank is inductive in nature. This assumption gives a necessary but not sufficient
condition for ZVS when significant semiconductor output capacitance is present.
