A New Distortion Mechanism in Class B Amplifiers

Mutual inductance between power-supply wiring and signal wiring in class B amplifiers introduces even-harmonic distortion. A circuit technique is described for constraining harmonic currents in power-supply wiring to well-defined loops, and these loops can be physically located so as to minimize mutual inductance.
