    The document summarizes designing and calculating the efficiency of a class-A power amplifier. It describes how class-A operation keeps the transistor in the active region over the entire input cycle, faithfully reproducing the signal without distortion. However, the efficiency of class-A operation is very low at 25% with resistive loads, but can be increased to 50% by using inductive loads. The experiment involves building the amplifier circuit, applying an AC input signal, measuring the output, and calculating the efficiency.

    EXP NO 1.

    CLASS-A POWER AMPLIFIER

    Aim: Design a class-A power amplifier and calculate its efficiency


    Theory: The power amplifier is said to be class A amplifier if the Q point is
    selected in such a way that output signal is obtained for a full input cycle. For class A power amplifier position of Q point is at the centre of mid point of load line. For all values of input signals the transistor remains in the active region and never enters into the cut off or saturation region. When an ac signal is applied, the collector current flows for 3600 of the input cycle. In other words, the angle of collector current flow is 3600 i.e... One full cycle. Here signal is faithfully reproduced at the output without any distortion. This is an important feature of class A operation. The efficiency of class A operation is very low with resistive load and is 25%. This can be increased to 50% by using inductive load.
