+# The design, simulation and characterisation of a class-B audio power amplifier
+
+## Abstract
+
+In this report I describe the design, simulation and characterisation of a novel, high performance,
+medium power (≈ 50 W) class-B audio amplifier. Following a general discussion of amplifier characteristics
+and design goals, the amplifier schematic is presented and described in detail. SPICE simulation results verify the design and provide further understanding of circuit behaviour. A brief discussion on the methodologies of good PCB design is followed by
+a presentation of the key experimental characteristics of the amplifier along with a comparison to the characteristics
+derived by simulation. An amplifier control board which responds to thermal and short-circuit faults and adds radio and alarm
+clock features is briefly discussed. The final chapter `recommendations for future work' is a reflection upon the
+strengths and weaknesses of the amplifier design and suggest possible means of improvement.
