Why does a Class C amplifier have good efficiency but has a poor linearity?
Homework Answers
1. Cause for poorest linearity is, since they only take less than 180° oscillations. They are suitable for amplifying constant envelope signals.
2. The reduced conduction angle progresses the efficiency to a great expand, but roots a lot of distortion, which leads to poor linearity. Hence the maximum theoretical efficiency of a Class-C amplifier which is around 90%.This is why Class C Amplifier has good efficiency factor,which is a major advantage of this amplifier.

The last stage of operational Amplifier is a power amplifier. Class B is a good choice for the power amplifier. However, class B suffer from crossover distortion. Several methods are used to correct this non linearity as was discussed in the lecture (class AB). One of this method is the use of VBE multiplier. Design the output of an operational amplifier using class AB that employ VBE multiplier. For temperature stability RE can be used for the NPN and PNP...
