A New Distortion Mechanism in Class B Amplifiers

Authors: Cherry, Edward M.

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 29 · Issue 5 · pp. 327–328 · May 1981

Abstract

Mutual inductance between power-supply wiring and signal wiring in class B amplifiers introduces even-harmonic distortion. A circuit technique is described for constraining harmonic currents in power-supply wiring to well-defined loops, and these loops can be physically located so as to minimize mutual inductance.
