Abstract :
A recently proposed second harmonic controlled frequency-independent third-order intermodulation distortion cancellation technique in a balanced common-emitter configuration gives possibility to optimize linearity independently of noise power. By using simplified Volterra analysis new rules for second harmonic controlled cancellation are given. The results are confirmed by harmonic balance stimulations.
