A recently proposed second harmonic controlled frequencyindependent third order intermodulation distortion cancellation technique in a balanced common-emitter amplifier is analysed in more detail. The balanced common-emitter configuration gives possibility to optimize linearity independently of noise or power. By using simplified Volterra analysis new rules for second harmonic controlled cancellation are given. The results are confirmed by harmonic balance simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
