  • Abstract
    A method for improving the distortion characteristics of a class of lossless feedback amplifiers is described, consisting of amplifying and inverting the error voltage at the emitter of the common-base transistor and applying the amplified error voltage to the transistor base. Descriptions are included for active and passive realizations
