Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Class C amplifiers are biased so that they operate for less than 180° of the input signal, which means they are biased deeply into cutoff. This allows them to have high efficiency but makes them suitable primarily for applications like RF transmission where the distortion introduced by this operating mode can be tolerated or corrected.
