Abstract
A technique is described capable of reducing co-channel IM distortion from 10 to 30 dB. The basic approach uses two active elements in which the mixing term of the Taylor expansion of the transfer characteristic is positive and the IM term is positive for one element and negative for the other, thereby cancelling the IM products without affecting conversion loss.Keywords
