Transformer coupled class A amplifier

Ø The transformer can step up or step down a voltage applied to primary coil .
Transformer coupled class A PA
• A form of class A amplifier having maximum efficiency of 50% uses
transformer to couple the output signal to the load.
Impedance transformation
Load resistance reflected to the primary side as,
Transformer coupled amplifier
• Drawing DC and AC load line
• Signal swing and output AC power
Power across the load can be expressed as
• IL=I2=N1/N2 IC
• with the output ac power then calculated using
PL=IL

2(rms) RL
