Computational Techniques for the Reduction of Nonlinear Effects Using Passive Compensating Networks.
Kendall L. Su · 1976
The objective of this effort is to develop design procedures to minimize nonlinear effects in mildly nonlinear circuits--Specifically, design procedures that will reduce nonlinear distortions such as intermodulation, desensitization, gain compression, etc. in communication equipment. The approach used relies on reducing in-band nonlinear distortion products by modifying the first order transfer functions outside the band of interest. The technique makes use of the fact that certain high-order nonlinear effects in the passband are functions of first-order network parameters at frequencies outside the band. By appropriate modification of these first-order parameters in-band, nonlinear effects can be reduced.
