A High Linearity Darlington Intermediate Frequency (IF) Amplifier for Wide Bandwidth Applications

This article describes the design of a very high linearity, wideband intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier. The design has a very flat gain response and most of the circuit components are integrated. It achieves a third-order intercept point (IP3) grea...
If amplifiers are used in many applications, including base stations, cable TV and instrumentation. High linearity is one of the most desired features of an IF amplifier. New applications, such as amplifiers used in cable TV, also require very flat gain and low noise. Darlington amplifiers with single or...
