  • System for reducing distortion in an electronic circuit using nonlinear feedback
    Patent number: 8063701
    Abstract: System and methods for reducing third harmonic distortion produced by nonlinear amplifiers are disclosed. A system may include an amplifier circuit with an amplifier transistor such that the amplifier is capable of exhibiting an amplifier output signal containing third harmonic distortion. Further, a system may include a nonlinear feedback circuit with a first feedback transistor operating in Triode mode that produces a feedback electronic signal containing a feedback third harmonic component. In addition, the nonlinear feedback circuit may be configured to the amplifier circuit in negative feedback such that the feedback third harmonic component of the feedback electronic signal reduces the third harmonic distortion of the amplifier output signal. A system may also provide an output signal that has less third harmonic distortion than the amplifier output signal.
