CONCLUSION:
Conducting the experiment, I therefore conclude that :
o Power amplifiers can raise the power level of a signal.
The output signal builds up more power across the load
than the input signal power to the amplifier. The
enhancement in output power generally results from an
increase in the output current. Large-scale amplifier
handles large signals. It serves as a driver in output
stages of cascaded amplifiers.
o Power amplifiers can be classified into different classes
namely A, B, AB, and C. Class A power amplifiers
demonstrates a continuously flow of output current. It is
the least efficient class but produces also the least
distorted output signal. Class B power amplifier has a
conduction of 180o. This means that class B only allows
current during the half cycle of input signal. Class AB
power amplifier has characteristics in between class A
and class B amplifiers. Class C power amplifier has the
least period of conduction usually ranging from 120 o to
150o. It has the most distorted output signal but has the
highest efficiency.
