  • Augmented Feedback Error Correction (AFEC)

    AFEC is a simple technique that augments the feedback of an amplifier to dramatically improve the Large Signal Non-linearity (LSN) distortion performance by up to 20 dB across the audio band. Additionally, AFEC acts to remove any DC offsets and also improve PSRR significantly. Augmenting the feedback in a manner similar to that described in…

  • Stochino Feed Forward Amplifier – Wireless World 1994

    This article decribes a feed forward amplifier concept from Giovanni Stochino.  The design, while novel, is very complicated and delivers about 30 dB in distortion reduction. Stochino Feed Forward.pdf  For an altogether simpler alternative that acheives about 20 dB distortion reduction, take a look at AFEC (‘augmented feedback error correction’) elswhere on this site.
