Abstract-Second-harmonic control is implemented in a balanced common-emitter configuration to facilitate frequency-independent third-order intermodulation distortion cancellation. Moreover, this circuit configuration facilitates a simultaneous match for either power and linearity or noise and linearity. Experiments demonstrated an improvement of over 15 dB in the output third-order intercept point while maintaining freedom in the choice of load and source impedance.

“…Although the bipolar transistor has power-handling capabilities, it has highly non-linear capacitance at the base junction [9]. This capacitor results in a large secondorder harmonic, and it degrades the linearity performance.…”

“…Field-effect transistors (MOSFET's as well as GaAs MESFET's and PHEMT's) gen- erally exhibit improved third-order intermodulation distortion compared with bipolar devices, due to their near square-law current versus voltage behavior. On the other hand, bipolar transistor amplifiers have recently demonstrated outstanding linearity performance as well, apparently due to the partial cancellation of the resistive and capacitive nonlinearities in the base-emitter junction at certain frequencies [28]. The tradeoff between the use of silicon bipolar and MOS devices for LNA applications is also complicated by a number of factors.…”

Abstract-This paper will summarize the technology tradeoffs that are involved in the implementation of radio frequency integrated circuits for wireless communications. Radio transceiver circuits have a very broad range of requirements-including noise figure, linearity, gain, phase noise, and power dissipation. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the competing technologies-Si CMOS and bipolar junction transistors (BJT's), Si/SiGe HBT's and GaAs MESFET's, PHEMTS and HBT's will be examined in light of these requirements.
