It's a junction gate field effect transistor that has it's bandwidth tuned to operate (amplify) in the radio frequency range.
The amp for audio freq. is a AF amplifier. The RF amp is for radio freqs.
A RF amplifier is a device for electrically amplifying the power of an electrical signal, typically, but not exclusively, radio frequency signals.
class C
The intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier lies between the mixer and the demodulator. The mixer shifts the input radio frequency (RF) signal into the range of the IF amplifier. The IF amplifer is a band pass amplifier, so only RF signals that are the IF frequency distance away from the local oscillator in the mixer can pass through to the demodulator. This process is called the superhetrodyne process.
It's power that is loss during the tuning of the RF network. Ideally the reflective power is tuned to zero before striking the plasma to maximize the efficiency of the RF generator.

Stagger Tuned Amplifiers are used to improve the overall frequency response of tuned Amplifiers. Stagger tuned Amplifiers are usually designed so that the overall response exhibits maximal flatness around the centre frequency.It needs a number of tuned circuit operating in union. The overall frequency response of a Stagger tuned amplifier is obtained by adding the induvidual response together. Since the resonant Frequencies of different tuned circuits are displaced or staggered, they are referred as STAGGER TUNED AMPLIFIER.The main advantage of stagger tuned amplifier is INCREASED BANDWIDTH. Its Drawback is Reduced Selectivity and critical tuning of many tank circuits. They are used in RF amplifier stage in Radio Receivers.

High frequency amplifier is a device which is tuned by high frequency. Tuned means the overlapping of generated frequency with that amplifier.
An amplifier with tuned filters on both input and output.
The amp for audio freq. is a AF amplifier. The RF amp is for radio freqs.
IF frequencies are used rather than RF frequencies because it is easier to design a bandpass amplifier that is tuned to a specific frequency range than one that is variably tuned during operation. This is the basis behind the superheterodyne design. The local oscillator is the only thing that is tuned in the RF stage. Everything else is wider band and relatively fixed. Also, circuit design at RF frequencies is more prone to parasitic capacitance and inductance, making the task more complex.
