Which outcome occurs when a power amplifier's quiescent current drifts due to thermal runaway in a radio transmitter?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway raises the transistor’s temperature, resulting in increased quiescent current, and thus gain fluctuations causing increased signal intermodulation distortion because the amplifier operates non-linearly. Therefore, distortion rises, rather than an improvement in conversion efficiency.
