  • Patent number: 10396721
    Abstract: A distributor distributes an input signal to a first transmission line and a second transmission line. A high-pass filter, a first linearizer, and a first phase shifter disposed on the first transmission line adjust the phase and amplitude of an intermodulation distortion in a low-frequency range. A low-pass filter, a second linearizer, and a second phase shifter disposed on the second transmission line adjust the phase and amplitude of an intermodulation distortion in a high-frequency range. A synthesizer synthesizes the signal from the first transmission line and the signal from the second transmission line.
