Power amplifier The final stage in multistage amplifiers, such as audio amplifiers and radio transmitters, designed to deliver appreciable power to the load. Power amplifiers may be called upon to supply power ranging from a few watts in an audio amplifier to many thousands of watts in a radio transmitter. In audio amplifiers the load is usually the dynamic impedance presented to the amplifier by a loudspeaker, and the problem is to maximize the power delivered to the load over a wide range of frequencies. The power amplifier in a radio transmitter operates over a relatively narrow band of frequencies with the load essentially a constant impedance. See Amplifier How to thank TFD for its existence?
