Abstract
A quadrature combiner circuit is provided which employs a quadrature coupler to split an input radio frequency signal into split radio frequency signals which are amplified by respective amplifiers and recombined in a second quadrature coupler in such a manner as to minimize intermodulation distortion products. A feedback loop is employed to assure that the split amplified radio frequency signals incident upon the second quadrature combiner are maintained in quadrature relationship to assure intermodulation product cancellation.
