Abstract
The bias level of an amplifier is controlled by an active bias circuit. The active bias circuit establishes a predetermined amplifier bias level (such as class A mode) as a function of input signal level and load impedance. The load impedance value may be manually entered or determined automatically by a disclosed impedance measuring system. Power supply circuitry is responsive to the value of load impedance to vary the bias voltage applied to the amplifier's output devices.
