Power Amplifiers: Power amplifiers are electronic devices that increase the power of a signal,
typically to drive a load such as a speaker, antenna, or other device that requires a significant
amount of power to operate. They are designed to handle high current and voltage levels,
making them suitable for applications where a strong signal is necessary.

Class A:
The Power amplifier is said to be Class A The Point and the input signal are selected such that
the olp Signal is obtained for full input Cyde (360°).QPoint is approximately at mid Point of the
Load Line.
Class B:
The Power amplifier is spid to be class B the & Q Paint and the input signal cou selected Sach
that the olp Signal is obtained for one half cych, The (180°).
* for this operation the Q-point is shifted to xaxis, The transistor is biased to cutoff segion.
Class C:
The power amplifirm is said to be class C. The Q- Point and the inped Signal are selected Such
that the olf signal is obtain for less than 180° half Cycle.
*The B-Pont is shifted to below the x-cous
Class AB Power Amplifier
A Class AB power amplifier is a type of amplifier that operates between Class A and Class B..
The Q-point is set slightly above the cutoff point, Both transistors are active for more than 180°
but less than 360° of the input signal cycle
Class A power amplifier:directly coupled, transformer coupled.
