Q4.

A Class-C amplifier has a base bias voltage of -5 V and VCC = 30 V. It is determined that a
peak input voltage of 9.8 V at 1 MHz is required to drive the transistor to its saturation
current of 1.8 A. Find the conduction angle, output power at 1 MHz and efficiency. If an
LC tank having C = 200 pF is connected in the collector circuit, find the inductance
necessary to tune the amplifier.
Ans: 108.9, 9.64 W, 92.5%, 0.127 mH
