Abstract

Keywords: Conventional distributed amplifier (CDA) Intermodulation distortion (IMD) Negative resistance amplifier Metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) ABSTRACT Negative resistance devices have attracted much attention in the wireless communication industry because of their low cost, better performance, high speed, and reduced power requirements. (ProQuest: ... denotes formulae omitted.) 1.INTRODUCTION Wireless communication industry has continued to witness exponential growth due to recent advances in modern electronics and semiconductor technologies [1-4]. [...]adequate consideration must be given to high quality performance, low power consumption, cost, and size reduction in the design of electronic circuits of wireless communication systems [5]. The concept of negative differential resistance (NDR) is mostly applied to produce oscillation in wireless communication systems at a desired frequency [10, 11]. The introduction of a large signal into an analogue systems or RF power amplifier is usually accompanied by distortion which can exhibit itself in different forms such as amplitude distortion, phase distortion or gain compression when driven by a single signal but for a two tone or multiple signal it appears as an in-band frequency or intermodulation distortion (IMD).
