🔍 Key Concepts

• Class C amplifier conduction angle and what part of the input waveform is amplified • How tank (resonant) circuits in RF amplifiers reconstruct a full sinusoid from partial conduction • Differences between RF (single-frequency) amplification and audio (wideband) amplification

💭 Think About

• Think about how many degrees of the input cycle a Class C device actually conducts, and what that does to the waveform without any additional circuitry • Ask yourself: In RF service, what allows a Class C stage to still produce a nearly sinusoidal output, and could that same method work over the full audio range of frequencies? • Consider whether audio power amplifiers can practically use sharply tuned resonant circuits if they must pass a wide range of frequencies rather than just one

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how conduction angle (in degrees) affects distortion in Class C operation for audio signals • Check whether tank circuits can operate over a broad audio spectrum or are limited to a narrow frequency band • Confirm whether push-pull Class C changes the fundamental limitation that makes it unsuitable (or not) for audio amplification

Question 1 of 20

A vacuum tube operated Class C audio amplifier is not feasible, either in single or push-pull:

Since the plate current only flows 120 degrees, even in push-pull, only 2/3 of the cycle is reproduced and the resultant distortion would be unacceptable for audio

Tank circuits, which replace the missing portions of the cycle, can't be used in an audio amplifier because they only operate on one frequency

A & B

None of the above
