An amplifier with a transistor that conducts during the entire 360º of the input signal cycle. Optimum class A operation is obtained by designing an amplifier so that its Q point is centered on the ac load line

 Power Gain  DC Quiescent Power  Output Power

Efficiency: The ratio of the signal power supplied to the load to the power drawn from the dc supply. By formula, The maximum efficiency of a capacitively coupled load is: In practice, the efficiency of a class A amplifier is usually around 10%. The low efficiency of class A power amplifiers limits their usefulness to small power applications that require only a few watts of load power.
