#2The 12-212 2.4 GHz Indoor Amplifier is a class AB amplifier.
A class A amplifier has a single output transistor which conducts for a full 360° of the cycle of the input waveform.
Class B and AB both have two output transistors. For class B, the output transistors only conduct for one-half, that is, 180° of the input waveform.
Class AB amplifier's output transistors conduct somewhere between 180° and 360° of the input waveform. The class AB amplifier operates as a combination of classes A and B.
That is, for small power outputs the AB amplifier operates as a class A amplifier but changes to a class B amplifier for larger current outputs. Class AB is more linear than Class B but less efficient, but more efficient than class A.
The power requirement for a 12-212 Indoor amplifier is 9V, 1.5A. Another class AB amplifier is the Teletronics 900MHz 12-105 BDA with power requirements of 12V, 4A.
Other classes of amplifiers include Class C, D, E, F, G, and H. For other amplifiers and repeaters, check out this page.
