Power Amplifiers
are used in the
transmitter
There are different classes for the power
amplifier
Class A, Class B, Class AB, Class C, Class
D
and Class E
Those amplifier differs in their angle of
conduction, efficiency, linearity and the in
the amount of distortion they introduce to
the system
1
Power Amplifiers
Class A
The amplifier conducts through the
full 360 of the input. The Q-point
is set near the middle of the load
line.
Class B
The amplifier conducts through
180 of the input. The Q-point is set
at the cutoff point.

Power Amplifiers
Class
AB
This is a compromise between the
class A and B amplifiers. The amplifier
conducts somewhere between 180
and 360 . The Q-point is located
between the mid-point and cutoff.
Class C
The amplifier conducts less than 180
of the input. The Q-point is located
below the cutoff level.

Power Amplifiers
Class
D
This is an amplifier that is biased
especially for digital signals.
