Hi,
I'm designing a simple single-stage amp through a BJT in common-emitter config.
On several reference designs observed in the internet, I see that a resistor is used between collector and V_CC, whereas for other designs, an RF choke is used instead.
I'm getting the idea that the resistor based designs implement a class A amp, for linear (AM) amplification, whereas the RF choke is for class C, narrowband amplification.
Is this right?
Thanks
RM
