    Abstract: A high-linearity amplifier including a main operational amplifier, a feedback circuit, and a compensation circuit is shown. The feedback circuit couples an output signal of the main operational amplifier to an input port of the main operational amplifier. The compensation circuit couples a former-stage circuit of the amplifier to the input port of the main operational amplifier to compensate for the non-linearity of the feedback circuit. The compensation circuit and the feedback circuit form an inverse paralleling linearization architecture. In the inverse paralleling linearization architecture, a resistor in the feedback circuit corresponds to a resistor in the compensation circuit which is biased in an inversed way in comparison with the corresponding resistor in the feedback circuit.
