Abstract:
A corrector circuit for correcting second harmonic distortions is provided. The corrector circuit includes a transconductance circuit having an input transconductance with a transresistance load for receiving a distorted voltage signal having a second harmonic component. The transconductance circuit is adapted to generate a corrected voltage signal having the second harmonic component that is reduced from the distorted voltage signal as a function of the input transconductance. The corrector circuit further includes biasing means for providing a biasing current to the transconductance circuit (with the input transconductance that depends on the biasing current). The biasing means includes means for providing a fixed component of the biasing current, means for providing a variable component of the biasing current (being a function of the distorted voltage signal according to a proportionality coefficient) and means for programming the proportionality coefficient.
