Abstract :
If a nonsaturated long-channel MOSFET is driven by linear and parabolic gate signals (α1VD+α2 VD2) derived from the drain signal VD , the drain current´s odd and even distortion components are decoupled and can be independently nulled by separately setting the constants α1 and α2 under normal bias conditions. The authors present a model which accurately predicts measurements for single-ended and balanced circuit configurations down to at least 80 dB below the amplitude of the fundamental
