Operating point is the zero signal values of collector Ic and collector to emitter voltage VCE of a transistor. DC load line is a straight line drawn on the output characteristics representing output DC voltage and corresponding direct current under no signal conditions.

The operating point does not depend upon the value of β of the transistor. Hence the operating point does not change its position due to rise in temperature or replacing a transistor of different p value. Hence voltage divider bias provides excellent stabilisation and is preferred to other biasing methods.

The SCR is connected with a diode bridge rectifier. The rectifier circuit converts AC to a unidirectional current through the thyristor. The voltage on the capacitor follows the diode rectifier waveform because RC circuit is connected to diode rectifier. During each half cycle when the voltage across the capacitor reaches trigger level which is just enough to supply gate trigger current to thyristor, then thyristor starts conducting. Firing angle $$\alpha=\left(\frac{x}{\mathrm{y}}\right)_{180}$$

The transmitter performs modulation and raises the power level of a modulated wave to required level for effective radiation.

The microphone converts the audio signal into an equivalent audio electrical signal. The output is filtered to have a bandwidth of 10kHz.

The pre amplifier provides the required voltage amplification. The driver amplifier increases the power level of the signal as required by the high power modulation amplifier.

The high frequency carrier wave is generated by a crystal oscillator which has highest frequency stability. The Carrier signal is fed to a buffer amplifer which is a low gain, high input impedance amplifer which isolates crystal oscillator and the power level of the carrier signal to drive the modulated class C amplifier.
