ABSTRACT:
A linear amplifier includes a feed forward circuit which is operative to eliminate distortion of the amplified signal by utilizing a second circuit path parallel to the amplification path to generate a distortion cancellation signal and combine it with the output of the amplification path to cancel the distortion. The gain and phase of the feed forward circuit is automatically adjusted by discrete steps through the operation of a stored program controller. The initial adjustment step is set at some minimum discrete value and its effect on the cancellation level of the feed forward circuit is evaluated. If the cancellation level does not change by a specified amount the adjustment step is increased by a discrete amount. Adjustment of the cancellation level is continued by discrete steps under control of the stored program control until a desired cancellation level is achieved. The number of step adjustments permitted is preset at some value. If the allotted number of step adjustments fail to achieve the desired response, the stored program control checks for the existence of possible fault conditions in the feed forward circuit.
