It conducts for less than one half cycle of the input.
Class C amplifier.. A class D amplifier is more efficient than class B, and is more efficient than class C as well.
Efficiency of class C amplifier is approximately 100%.
btwn 80-90%
Class C because of its high power gain.
CLASS -C amplifier is having high ditortion due to which they are not used in audio frequency work
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.
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)
A class A amplifier is an amplifier where the bias current in all amplifier stages, including the power amplifier, always exceeds the maximum output current. This leads to a very high energy consumption (and cooling might become a problem), but eliminates crossover distortions. Typical commercial amplifiers are what is called class A/B amplifiers, meaning, they would use a pretty high bias current to eliminate crossover distortions, but the bias current would still be less than the maximum output current to reduce the energy waste and cooling problems associated with pure class A amplifiers.
a class c amplifier conducts only for a small fraction of the period ( cycle ) of the input signal. hence its use is normally limited to circuits called oscillators where the high efficiency & power gain inherent of class C is utilised together with tuned circuits. As a matter of information, high fidelity amplifiers used for professional audio etc. use class A amplifier, where the amplifier works continoulsy over the full period of the input signal. Then there is class B type where the amplifier works for about 50% of the input signal period. This type of amplifier is used especially in High frequency circuits where the use of a Tuned circuit enables a full cycle to be generated even though the amplifier is working as class B A variation of clss B used especially in audio systems is with Two class B circuits each operating synchronously over a particular half of the signal, the two halves being combined to generate a whole signal cycle. Then there are inbetween variations called class AB etc. Modern digital technology has introduced Class D type amplifiers which are a different lot altogether.
class C
a high power, often class C amplifier.
Class C tuned amplifier is a large signal tuned amplifier that amplifies high power signals of the radio frequency range. The amplifier is said to be Class C if the output cycle obtained is less than half a cycle of the full input cycle. This means the transistor remains active for less than half a cycle so that only that much part of the input waveform is reproduced at the output with amplification. For the remaining part, the transistor remains inactive.
