Description
Summary:This paper presents a general description of the inherent transistor limitations affecting the linearity of its performance in its typical amplifying region. A unified treatment, for bipolar junction transistors and for the different types of field effect transistors, has been developed relating the Q-point location of an amplifier stage with the output amplitude and the nonlinear distortion.
