THE EXTENSION OF DYNAMIC RANGE AND FREQUENCY COVERAGE IN SOLID-STATE AMPLIFIERS AND MIXERS.

Abstract

Investigations were made to increase the dynamic range and frequency coverage of solid-state VHF receivers. The following aspects are considered: (1) A theoretical and experimental comparison is made between a field-effect transistor and a conventional transistor amplifier in respect to intermodulation distortion and noise figure; (2) balanced amplifiers with feedback are considered for improving dynamic range; (3) the phase and amplitude criteria at the frequency crossover of partitioned amplifiers are investigated; and (4) experimental data are presented on a doubly balanced mixer, a logarithmic amplifier, and a voltage-tuned filter covering from 650 to 900 Mc.
