Abstract: A technology is described for a wide-band radio frequency amplifier using cross-over diplexers. A first port is configured to receive RF signals in a wide-band RF spectrum. A cross-over diplexer splitter is coupled to the first port. The cross-over diplexer splitter is configured to filter the RF signals in the wide-band RF spectrum into a low frequency (LF) signal having an LF pass-band and a high frequency (HF) signal having an HF pass-band with the LF pass-band crossing the HF pass-band at a cross-over frequency. An HF RF amplifier is configured to amplify the HF signal to form an amplified HF signal. An LF RF amplifier configured to amplify the LF signal to form an amplified LF signal. A cross-over diplexer combiner is configured to combine the amplified HF signal and the amplified LF signal and output amplified RF signals in the wide-band RF spectrum.

Abstract: A system has a plurality of non-linear circuit stages and an intervening linear circuit stage. An input signal is provided to a first non-linear circuit stage, and from the first non-linear circuit stage, to the linear circuit stage. The first non-linear circuit stage applies a second-order distortion to the input signal and provides the resulting signal to the linear circuit stage. The resulting signal that is output from the linear circuit stage is inverted with respect to the input signal and suitably linearly processed (attenuated or amplified). This signal is then provided to a second non-linear circuit that applies a second-order distortion and outputs a signal that has an overall reduction in second-order distortion.

Abstract: A balanced amplifier can utilize a common mode choke to suppress even harmonics in the signals of the balanced amplifier. The common choke can be coupled between cascaded balanced amplifier pairs to receive the differential output signals from one of the balanced amplifier pairs and to provide conditioned signals to the other of the balanced amplifier pairs. The common mode choke can improve the amplitude and phase balance between the differential output signals by providing increased impedance to the passage of common mode signals such as even harmonics.
