Abstract
A nonlinear capacitance-compensation technique is developed to help improve the linearity of CMOS class-AB power amplifiers. The method involves placing a PMOS device alongside the NMOS device that works as the amplifying unit, such that the overall capacitance seen at the amplifier input is a constant, thus improving linearity. The technique is developed with the help of computer simulations and Volterra analysis. A prototype two-stage amplifier employing the scheme is fabricated using a 0.5-/spl mu/m CMOS process, and the measurements show that an improvement of approximately 8 dB in both two-tone intermodulation distortion (IM3) and adjacent-channel leakage power (ACP1) is obtained for a wide range of output power. The linearized amplifier exhibits an ACP1 of -35 dBc at the designed output power of 24 dBm, with a power-added efficiency of 29% and a gain of 23.9 dB, demonstrating the potential utility of the design approach for 3GPP WCDMA applications.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
