APPARATUS WITH MAIN TRANSISTOR-BASED SWITCH AND ON-STATE LINEARIZATION NETWORK
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a main transistor-based switch having a first end node and a second end node; and
an ON-state linearization network that is coupled between the first end node and the second end node of the main transistor-based switch and configured to;
receive a monitored signal that corresponds to a signal across the first end node and the second end node; and
cancel at least a portion of non-linear distortion generated by the main transistor-based switch when the main transistor-based switch is in an ON-state based on the monitored signal, wherein a control signal applied to a control input of the ON-state linearization network causes the ON-state linearization network to activate when the main transistor-based switch is in the ON-state and to deactivate the ON-state linearization network when the main transistor-based switch is an OFF-state.

Abstract
An apparatus including a main transistor-based switch having a first end node and a second end node and an ON-state linearization network that is coupled between the first end node and the second end node of the main transistor-based switch is disclosed. The ON-state linearization network is configured to receive a monitored signal that corresponds to a signal across the first end node and the second end node and cancel at least a portion of non-linear distortion generated by the main transistor-based switch when the main transistor-based switch is in an ON-state based on the monitored signal. A control signal applied to a control input of the ON-state linearization network causes the ON-state linearization network to activate when the main transistor-based switch is in the ON-state and to deactivate the ON-state linearization network when the main transistor-based switch is an OFF-state.
