Abstract :
More than a 40-dB third-order intermodulation product (IMP) has been achieved in a 13-GHz-band 2-stage IMPATT stable amplifier with 21-dBm output level and 11-dB gain, using a diode bias-current compensation technique. Theoretical calculations also verified the experimental data. This technique will enable the IMPATT stable amplifier to be used in a multicarrier AM transmission system.
