This paper presents a fully differential power amplifier (PA) with high efficiency and linearity. To improve the linearity, an optimum gate bias is applied for the cancellation of the nonlinear harmonics. The amplifier delivers a 6 dB of power gain. The signal noise distortion and total harmonic distortion of 55.68 dB and 0.144% has been shown. The compensation characteristics of the circuit ha...

Although uniformly sampled pulse width modulation (UPWM) represents a very efficient digital audio coding scheme for digitalto-analog conversion and full-digital amplification, it suffers from strong harmonic distortions, as opposed to benign nonharmonic artifacts present in analog PWM (naturally sampled PWM, NPWM). Complete elimination of these distortions usually requires excessive oversampli...

This paper presents a new CMOS buffer circuit topology for radiofrequency (RF) applications based on a fully-differential voltage-combiner circuit, capable of operating at low-voltage. The proposed circuit uses a combination of common-source (CS) and common-drain (CD) devices. The simulation results show good levels of linearity and bandwidth. To improve total harmonic distortion (THD) a source...

The main difference in topology of a boost bridgeamplifier and state-of-the-art class-D amplifier is in theconnection of a loudspeaker between a power supply and aswitching bridge. The boost bridge amplifier provides fourtimes higher peak power at the loudspeaker than the power,which can be achieved by a class-D amplifier from the samepower supply. Total harmonic distort...

In the present article, the effects of a non-linear load under balanced conditions on the rating of a transformer are analysed. Non-linear loads are related to temperature increases in a transformer, which lead to deterioration and reduction of lifetime. Due to the unwanted effects of harmonic components in non-linear loads, the load connected to the transformer should be reduced. In other word...

Two different circuit models of RC coupled small-signal amplifiers are developed using identical power MOSFETs in Darlington pair configuration. Proposed circuits successfully eliminate the poor frequency response problem of Darlington pair amplifiers at higher frequencies. An additional biasing resistance RA, ranging from 1KΩ to 100KΩ, is to be essentially used in the proposed circuits to main...

This paper proposes a hybrid carrier based space vector modulation suitable for multiphase multilevel inverters. Multiphase multilevel inverters are controlled by this hybrid modulation to provide multiphase variable voltage and variable frequency supply. The proposed modulation inherits the features of fundamental frequency modulation and carrier based space vector modulation strategies. The m...

A family of two reactive-power compensator circuit is presented. A general model of some basic linear elements and switching function blocks is developed first. Then the two proposed compensator circuits are derived from the generalised model. The proposed circuits are capable of supplying leading as well as lagging reactive currents in stepless variation without using an inverter configuration...

Using 1-μm InP HBT technology, a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) IC for optical links using 100-Gb/s dual polarization quadrature phase shift keying (100-G DP-QPSK) was designed and fabricated. Its wide dynamic range of 0.2∼2mAppd input current and good linearity of less than 3.3-% total harmonic distortion (THD) were confirmed. Also, externally controllable functions such as output amplitude ad...

The multideterminental-DFT approach was performed in order to calculate the Jahn-Teller (JT) parameters for the JT active molecules. Within the harmonic approximation the JT distortion can be analysed as a linear combination of all totally symmetric normal modes in any of the low symmetry minimum energy conformation, which allows to calculate the Intrinsic Distortion Path (IDP), exactly from th...
