Abstract
Apparatus is provided for inhibiting the generation of intermodulation products in a radio frequency amplifier coupled to a circulator. A control circuit generates a control signal exhibiting indicia of the amount of isolation provided by the circulator. The control signal is provided to a variable impedance synthesis circuit coupled to the circulation isolation port such that the impedance synthesis circuit exhibits the appropriate impedance to maximize circulation isolation. Intermodulation is thus minimized.
