Abstract
An active clamping circuit for a multi-stage power amplifier includes a feedback circuit which affects the gain of the amplifier. The feedback circuit feeds an output via a filter and a clamping transistor to an input of at least one stage of the power amplifier. The output fed to the filter and clamping transistor may be tapped from one or more diodes belonging to a diode stack connected to the power amplifier's output.
