- The efficiency is on the order of 35% at carrier with screen grid modulation or control grid modulation and the peak envelope power efficiency is 70% to 75% very similar to the efficiency changes th

- Yes tom, as far as heat dissipation goes I would think that would be in the ball park. But actual efficiencies that the amplifier needs to operate at would be figured at the peak envelope power leve

- It has to do with the plate load impedance that the tube sees. In order to handle the modulation peaks the load on the tube must show the proper impedance to allow the proper plate voltage swing for

- As a further note on efficiency, it is not unique to amplifying an AM signal. The exact same efficiency ratios are present when amplifying an SSB signal or a CW signal. As power level is lowered by d

- Yes, I see what you mean. The plate current peaks will not double in class A as they would in class B. That 2x increase is not there in class A. We were saying 50% efficiency change for class B, but

- Hi Jeff, No that's not really the case. The plate current peaks have to go just as high in class A as they do in class B. The difference is that on the negative swing of grid drive the class A amplif
