In a feed-forward amplifier which has an error detection circuit for detecting a nonlinear distortion component of a main amplifier and an error rejection circuit for amplifying the detected distortion component by an auxiliary amplifier and injecting it into the main amplifier to thereby cancel an error component a first, pilot signal is injected into a signal input path and a second pilot signal is injected into a signal amplification path of the error detection circuit. A first variable attenuator and a first variable phase shifter of the error detection circuit are adjusted by a control circuit so that the level of the first pilot signal component on an error injection path of the error …

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 5, 1991 and granted January 4, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 5, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 5, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
