THEORY
The power amplifiers are the amplifiers which deliver maximum
undistorted symmetrical output voltage swing to the low impedance load.
Generally any system (like a stereo, radio or television) consists of several
stages of amplification. When the signal passes through these stages, the
power level of signal rises so much that the later stages require high power
handling circuit elements such as power transistors. Also as the load
impedance of these later stages is very small (of the order of 8 ohm for
stereo amplifier speakers), heavy collector current flows. To handle this,
transistors heaving power rating of 1W or more are used in power
amplifiers.
Power amplifiers are broadly classified as :
1. Class A (Voltage Amplifier)
2. Class B (Push-Pull Emitter Follower)
3. Class C Tuned Amplifier
Class C Tuned Amplifier :
Class C amplifier is a power amplifier in which collector current of the
amplifying transistor flows for less than 180 of input AC signal.

In short a class C amplifier is one in which the operating point is chosen so


that the output current (or voltage) is zero for more than one half of an input
sinusoidal signal. The output signal would be distorted if this non-
sinusoidal current flows through the resistive load. To avoid the distortion
that would occur due to purely resistive load, load is usually a resonant tank
circuit (LC circuit), which therefore has a high resistive value at the
frequency of interest. Hence, the selected signal output is free from non-
linear distortions. The resonant tank circuit is tuned to the frequency of
input signal. When the circuit has a high quality factor (Q), parallel
resonance occurs at approximately.

Where,
L = inductance
C = capacitance
The AC equivalent circuit of base-emitter junction is as shown in Fig.2
when Q of the circuit is high enough.

As shown the input capacitor is a part of a negative clamper and hence the
signal is negatively clamped. On the positive half cycle of the input signal
the coupling capacitor charges to approx. VP with polarity shown as the
base-emitter diode conducts. On the negative half cycle, capacitor
discharges through R1. Capacitor continues to discharge till the period T of
the input signal is less than time constant R1C. As the base voltage swings
slightly above 0.7V the base-emitter diode turns on, thus recharging the
capacitor.

At the output side the collector current source drives a parallel resonant tank
circuit. At resonance, the AC load impedance is purely resistive and the
collector current is minimum and the peak-to-peak load voltage reaches a
maximum. Above and below the resonance, AC load impedance decreases
and the collector current increases, thus reducing the amplification level or
introducing distortion in the output signal. A class C amplifier is a
narrowband circuit it amplifies only the signals of resonant frequency and
near to it. As the amplification level reduces when input frequency is
moved up and down the resonant frequency, we can find out the bandwidth
of the amplifier. The bandwidth of the Class C amplifier can be find out as
follows,
BW = FH - FL
Where,
FH = upper half power frequency
FL = lower half power frequency
The half power frequencies are identical frequencies at which the voltage
gain equals 0.707 times the maximum gain. The smaller the difference,
narrower is the bandwidth of amplifier.
The dc collector current depends on the conduction angle and hence the
overall efficiency of the amplifier. In short as the duty cycle increases the
efficiency of the amplifier decreases. For the conduction angle of 180 the
amplifier efficiency is 78.5%. If we further reduce the conduction angle the
stage efficiency will increase. The class C amplifier efficiency can be 100%
at the maximum.
The following formulas are used for Class C Tuned Amplifier,
1. Input AC Power, Pi(ac) = Vp-p2 / 8 * Rs (Rs = Input impedance)
2. Output AC Power, Po(ac) = Vp-p2 / 8 * RL (RL= Output impedance)
3. Power Gain, Ap = Po(ac) / Pi(ac)
4. Input DC Power, Pi(dc) = Vcc * Idc (Idc = Input DC Current)
5. Efficiency, n% = Po(ac) * 100/ Pi(dc)
