Analysis of circuit conditions for optimum intermodulation and gain in bipolar cascomp amplifiers with non-ideal error correction
(INST ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, 2014-11-20)The cascoded-compensation or ‘Cascomp’ amplifier offers excellent distortion reduction and thermal distortion rejection, but has not seen widespread use because of a limited gain and increased complexity compared with other ... -
Application of Nonlinear Transistor Characteristics
(University of Waikato, 2014)This research presents three works all related by the subject of third-order distortion reduction in nonlinear circuits. Each one is a novel extension to previous work in that branch of electronics literature. All three ... -
Bipolar amplifier bias technique for robust IM3 null tracking independent of internal emitter resistance
(IEEE, 2012)Bipolar amplifiers can be biased to give a deep null in third order non-linearity, with the potential for high IP3 amplifier stages. This requires maintaining a precise voltage drop across a small resistive emitter ... -
Cascomp BJT Amplifier vs. traditional configurations
(Electronics Group, Department of Physics, 2012)All transistor circuits introduce distortion. In Radio Frequency (RF) circuits, the third-order distortion components are the most important. The quest for more linear circuits has become more important with complex-modulation ... -
On the threshold: Affordances of online tutorials in the learning of threshold concepts
(2013)According to threshold concept theory, in each academic discipline there exist concepts that once grasped allow new and previously inaccessible ways of perceiving and thinking about the subject to emerge [1]. Acquiring a ...
