Question 296

For which of the following modes is a Class C power stage appropriate for amplifying a modulated signal?

  1. SSB
  2. FMCorrect answer
  3. AM
  4. All these choices are correct

Explanation

An FM signal has constant amplitude and carries its information in frequency, so the envelope distortion introduced by a Class C stage does not damage it. SSB and AM carry information in the envelope, so amplifying them nonlinearly would distort the signal and splatter energy into adjacent channels.
