low power linear amplifiers
Class B operated amplifier is used extensively for audio amplifiers that require high power outputs. Its also used as the driver and power amplifier stages of transmitters.
The most efficient power amplifier is generally considered to be the Class D amplifier, which uses pulse-width modulation and operates as a switch, minimizing power loss and heat generation. Class D amplifiers can achieve efficiencies of over 90%, making them ideal for battery-powered and high-performance audio applications. Other efficient amplifier classes include Class E and Class F, which are designed for RF applications and can also achieve high efficiency through specific circuit designs.
A Class C amplifier is not used as a power amplifier because it operates with a conduction angle of less than 180 degrees, leading to significant distortion of the output signal. This results in a signal that is not suitable for audio or other high-fidelity applications, as it cannot accurately reproduce the input waveform. Additionally, Class C amplifiers are primarily used for RF applications where efficiency is critical, and the distorted output can be filtered to recover the desired signal. However, for general power amplification, Class A or Class AB amplifiers are preferred due to their linearity and lower distortion.

Its used in collector amplitude modulation,Radio frequency recievers ..etc
Class C because of its high power gain.
applications of common source amplifier
A: class a
No, a push-pull amplifier can be built class A, class AB, class B, or class C depending on application.class A push-pull is used for low power audio usuallyclass AB push-pull is used for high power audio usuallyclass B and class C push-pull is used for very high power radio usually (B is typical for AM and C is typical for FM)
Class C amplifier.. A class D amplifier is more efficient than class B, and is more efficient than class C as well.
The main advantage is lower power dissipation as the amplifier is not conducting half the time, however the resulting disadvantage is that it is nonlinear unless the more complex push-pull amplifier design is used (requiring about twice as many components).
The Class B amplifier is a push pull amplifier with 78.5% efficiency. The high efficiency is due to the absence of power consumption during idle time which simultaneously increases the efficiency.
