Abstract:
Provided is a signal amplification apparatus with advanced linearization, the signal amplification apparatus including: a driving unit having a structure of a cascode amplifier including a first active element and a second active element and outputting an amplification signal in which an input signal is amplified, to an output terminal; a third active element receiving a signal diverged between the first active element and the second active element while gate and drain terminals of the third active element are shorted; a fourth active element of which gate and drain terminals are connected to a source terminal of the third active element; and a fifth active element of which gate terminal is connected to the drain terminal of the fourth active element, outputting a non-linear signal having an opposite phase to the amplification signal to the output terminal so as to cancel a third-order inter-modulation distortion component included in the input signal. An amplification signal in which an input signal is amplified is combined with a non-linear signal having an opposite phase to the amplification signal and a low gain and is output so that a third-order inter-modulation distortion component included in the input signal can be cancelled and a signal with advanced linearity can be output.
