Technically possible, but not something you want to do. Once the carrier has been AM modulated, you need to handle it tenderly after that. Specifically, distortion has to be prevented, because distortion means new frequencies are introduced into the package, which makes the AM signal wider in occupied bandwidth ANDmakes AM sound terrible. Preventing distortion means the package can only be handled with 'linear' stages, and a Class-C stage is possibly the most non-linear kind of amplifier there is, since it's completely cut off for part of each RF cycle. By the way, this is the reason that AM is normally modulated in the RF power amplifier ... the last stage before the antenna. It would be a lot cheaper and easier to modulate at low level ... where much less audio power would be required ... and then RF-amplify the package for transmission, as is done in FM. But AM is so sensitive to distortion that it takes too much TLC to power-amplify it once it's been modulated. So amplifying (or frequency converting) are generally avoided after AM has been modulated.

How do you install a linear CB amplifier?
You don't. Linear amplifiers are illegal for CB use. The maximum input into the final stage of a CB transmitter is 5 watts.
What is A or C biasing?
The three standard forms of analog amplifier biasing are:class A - the amplifier is biased in the center of its linear operating range, this is the most linear but least efficient type of amplifier (because the transistors or tubes are always conducting, even when there is no signal to ampliify).class B - the amplifier is biased at the cutoff point, this is an efficient amplifier but is only linear if operated as a push-pull amplifier (because the transistors or tubes are in cutoff and not conducting when there is no signal and through one half of every cycle, a class B push-pull amplifier has two sections that operate on alternate halves of the cycle).class C - the amplifier is biased in hard cutoff so that only the peaks of the input signal are amplified, this is the most efficient amplifier (because the transistors or tubes may be in cutoff and not conducting for more the 85% of the time) but it is not capable of linear amplification. An amplifier biased as class C is only suitable for use in RF transmitter power stages, where a resonant LC tank circuit will be excited into oscillation by the output of the amplifier and complete the missing parts of the cycle.There are other forms of biasing (e.g. class AB) analog amplifiers that get some of the advantages of two of the standard forms. There are also forms of amplifiers having other nonstandard classes (e.g. class D) that are not analog amplifiers, but instead operate by amplifying pulses.
What is Wireless transmission system?
A wireless transmission consists of at a minimum: input signal (the data or analog signal you wish to transmit), transmitter, 2 antennas, space (the final frontier) and a receiver/reproducer. This only makes one way transmission possible. You would need an additional: transmitter, receiver/reproducer and 2 antenna couplers (allows both a transmitter and receiver to use the same antenna) to have 2 way communication. A basic transmitter consists of a power source, a signal generator (oscillator), signal converter/amplifier, mixer (mixes the oscillator and amp signals to create the transmitted signal), output amplifier. a receiver is similar to a transmitter except instead of mixing the signal with the oscillator signal it removes the oscillator signal. Systems can be much more complicated depending on power needs (distance between antennas, frequency interference...) and application (encoder/decoder, security or digital conversion).
How do you use an instrumentation amplifier as a temperature indicator?
You use a thermocouple as the input to the amplifier circuit.
What does a transmission system at a radio station use to convert a direct current into a high frequency alternating current?
a high power, often class C amplifier.
What would one use a Class D amplifier for?
A Class D amplifier is a switching or pulse-width modulation amplifier. Class D amplifiers can have either digital or analog inputs and are used for home theater system and mobile phones.
What are the system applications of a class B amplifier?
Class B operated amplifier is used extensively for audio amplifiers that require high power outputs. Its also used as the driver and power amplifier stages of transmitters.
What class that we prefer to use in power amplifier?
Class C because of its high power gain.

You don't. Linear amplifiers are illegal for CB use. The maximum input into the final stage of a CB transmitter is 5 watts.
How can you use a piezo disc to temporarily close a circuit?
by itself no. but by using amplifier it is possible

What amplification is done by class c amplifier?
a class c amplifier conducts only for a small fraction of the period ( cycle ) of the input signal. hence its use is normally limited to circuits called oscillators where the high efficiency & power gain inherent of class C is utilised together with tuned circuits. As a matter of information, high fidelity amplifiers used for professional audio etc. use class A amplifier, where the amplifier works continoulsy over the full period of the input signal. Then there is class B type where the amplifier works for about 50% of the input signal period. This type of amplifier is used especially in High frequency circuits where the use of a Tuned circuit enables a full cycle to be generated even though the amplifier is working as class B A variation of clss B used especially in audio systems is with Two class B circuits each operating synchronously over a particular half of the signal, the two halves being combined to generate a whole signal cycle. Then there are inbetween variations called class AB etc. Modern digital technology has introduced Class D type amplifiers which are a different lot altogether.
Why you use pushpull complementary symmetry for class B power amplifier?
Because the output device in a class B amplifier are biased at cutoff, they only amplify one half of the input waveform, so a complementary stage, biased at class B, is needed to output the other half. There are several circuit layouts to do this.

The use of swamping resistor in differential amplifier?
the use of swamping resisters in amplifier is in order to protect the amplifier from high temperatures
What is use of nand gate in transmitter circuit?
A NAND gate can be used as an oscillator or as an amplifier in a very rudimentary transmitter. (If both inputs of a NAND gate are tied together, it inverts the incoming signal. Chain two NANDs together with the outputs fed back through a crystal and you have a quick, easy oscillator. Chain another NAND or two or three with the inputs tied together and the output right into another NAND and you have a simple low power amplifier.)
What are your options to get video and audio from studio to transmitter site?
A microwave transmitter, either in real-time or coded in files. The internet is possible, but the quality is too poor for broadcast unless it is news. Radio can use the telephone line.
