If this isn't the slow modulation case, for a single device RF output
stage to work as a linear you need to bias it to about the point where gm
is 1/2 the "mid current" gm. This makes the stage class AB.
If you want to go towards class B or C there are things you can do in the
slow modulation case. Basically as the RF input increases, you move into
class C and as it decreases you move back towards AB. Moving to class C
lowers the output power for large signals a bit so the AB class's standing
current can be reduced by some amount.
Can't agree. If you're running any amount of standing current, then it
ain't class C.
