The transformer coupled class A power amplifier was introduced to minimize low output power and efficiency issues of conventional class A amplifiers. It uses a transformer in the collector load circuit for impedance matching between the transistor and load. The transformer allows impedance matching by transforming the high impedance primary to a low impedance secondary connected to the load. This improves gain and efficiency over a standard class A amplifier by preventing signal power loss in resistors and providing DC isolation between stages.
