Class B Power Amplifier Design Figure 7: Class B Power AmplifierFigure 7 represents the circuit of a Class B Push-Pull Power Amplifier. An analysis ofthis circuit shows that the amplifier has a voltage gain of unity. If we assume that theinput voltage Vi = 12 Vrms (Vi(p) = 17 V), then the peak value of the output voltage will beVL(p) = 17 V as well. If we choose RL = 4 Ω, we can determine the output power acrossthe load (PO
