Chapter 8 - Large-Signal Amplifiers
Chapter Overview
This chapter introduces
the idea of efficiency in an amplifier. An efficient
amplifier delivers a large part of the power it receives
from the supply as a useful output signal. Efficiency
is most important when large amounts of signal power
are required.
It will be shown that amplifier
efficiency is related to how the amplifier is biased.
It is possible to make large improvements in efficiency
by moving the operating point away from the center of
the load line.
