🔍 Key Concepts

• Amplifier conduction angle (portion of the input signal cycle during which the active device conducts current) • Behavior of the transistor biasing in different amplifier classes (whether the device is biased into or near cutoff) • Relationship between efficiency and linearity in amplifier classes

💭 Think About

• For each amplifier class listed, recall roughly what fraction of the input cycle the active device conducts (more than 180°, exactly 180°, or less than 180°?). • Think about which class is typically used for the most linear, low‑distortion audio or RF small‑signal stages, where you want output for the full waveform. • Which class specifically avoids letting the active device switch completely off (cutoff) during the signal cycle?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which amplifier class has a conduction angle of 360° (the device conducts for the entire cycle). • Confirm which class uses a bias point well above cutoff, so the input signal never drives it into the cutoff region. • Eliminate any classes known for conduction only over part of the cycle (about 180° or less), which implies some portion of the waveform is not actively amplified.
