ABSTRACT:
In a preferred embodiment, a low distortion power sharing amplifier network capable of amplifying a plurality of input signals includes a plurality of amplifiers, each for amplifying an approximately equal amount of RF signal power. The power sharing arrangement prevents any one of the amplifiers in the network from operating too deep into saturation even when the plurality of input signals vary widely in power. Distortion is reduced by coupling at least one feed-forward loop to the amplifier network.
