Class C Amplifier
Class C amplifier operates for less than half of the
input cycle. It’s efficiency is about 75% because
the active device is biased beyond cutoff.
It is commonly used in RF circuits where a
resonant circuit must be placed at the output in
order to keep the sine wave going during the non-
conducting portion of the input cycle.
