What Is Meant by Push Pull Amplifier?

.

Keeping this in view, why is it called push pull amplifier?

Push Pull Amplifier. The circuit is called a Push-Pull because one transistor pushes in one direction while the other pulls in another direction. Both transistors are NPN types in this case. A common small signal BJT is the 2N2222 NPN Transistor [low power].

Likewise, what is the main source of distortion in a push pull amplifier? Crossover distortion is a type of distortion which is caused by switching between devices driving a load. It is most commonly seen in complementary, or "push-pull", Class-B amplifier stages, although it is occasionally seen in other types of circuits as well.

Herein, what is complementary push pull amplifier?

Push-pull amplifiers use two “complementary” or matching transistors, one being an NPN-type and the other being a PNP-type with both power transistors receiving the same input signal together that is equal in magnitude, but in opposite phase to each other.

How does a class B amplifier work?

Class B amplifier is a type of power amplifier where the active device (transistor) conducts only for one half cycle of the input signal. That means the conduction angle is 180° for a Class B amplifier. Anyway, Class C amplifiers are more often used in RF power amplifier applications.
