The BJT based class C power amplifier online calculator uses voltage divider biasing method to bias the transistor. This calculator calculates the biasing power gain, efficiency of the class C power amplifier. It also calculates the transistor power dissipation, ac power input and ac power output. The equation used by the calculator is provided above. Voltage divider biasing is best suited for stable operation of the amplifier among the biasing methods.
Here the user has to enter the resistors values and the input signal peak to peak voltage and the output signal maximum peak to peak voltage. Also the user is required to enter the base to emitter voltage(Vbe) and the beta of the transistor. One can simplify the design process if the online BJT amplifier calculator is used. Using this calculator the resistors values and the coupling, bypass capacitor values are automatically calculated. The component values obtained there can then be entered into this power amplifier design calculator.
