IPC: H03F3/24
Filed: 2020-04-28
Abstract: A method of reducing second-order non-linear distortion in a wideband system comprises providing an input signal x to a first non-linear circuit stage 11, then from the first non-linear circuit stage to one or more intermediate linear circuit stages 12, and from the linear circuit stage(s) to a second non-linear circuit stage 13. The first non-linear circuit stage applies a second-order non-linear modification having an initial first order component and second-order distortion; the second non-linear circuit stage applies a second-order non-linear modification having an additional first order component and second-order distortion. The intermediate linear stage(s) applies a linear modification and inverts the output z with respect to the input signal; the linear modification, that may be attenuation or amplification, has an intermediate first order component. A ratio of the initial second-order distortion and initial first order component β1/α1 equals a ratio of the additional second-order distortion and additional first order component β3/α3 multiplied by an adjustment factor such that second order distortion is substantially removed from the system output signal w; the adjustment factor is a ratio of the initial and intermediate first order components α1/α2. A distributed antenna system (Fig.6) is also provided, comprising a gain stage operated according to this method. The method may be used in wideband communications systems.
