Class A Power amplifier.

1. Circuit diagram.

enter image description here

2. Position of Q-point : At the center of dc 1 outline.

3. Operating cycle: Circuit operates for entire 360˚ of input signal.

4. Power efficiency: Maximum efficiency (for series fed ) = 25%

Maximum efficiency for transformer coupled = 50%

Class C Power Amplifier.

1. Circuit diagram.

enter image description here

2. Position of Q-point : Below the cut off region of operation.

3. Operating cycle : Circuit operates for less than 180˚ of input signal.

4. Power efficiency : Around 95% for class C power amplifier.
