Default Efficiency and maximum power transfer

A conjugate match is necessary for maximum power transfer.


Is the class-C amp conjugately matched during
the 75% of the cycle when it is off? Is there
any such thing as an instantaneous conjugate
match? Don't we have to move downstream from
non-linear sources for our linear math models
to start working?
