A differential current amplifier includes a differential input transistor pair having respective first and second unity gain current mirror amplifiers (CMA) connected in their respective output circuits. The output terminal of the CMA connected in the output circuit of the first transistor of the differential pair is connected to the input terminal of the second transistor of the differential pair. The output terminal of the CMA connected in the output circuit of the second transistor is connected to the input terminal of the first transistor. The current feedback to the input terminals of the differential pair conditions them to be responsive to input signal currents. An amplifier output current can be derived from an additional current output from one of the first and second CMA's, the additional CMA output having a gain of A relative to the unity gain output.

A linearization circuit reduces intermodulation distortion in a differential amplifier that includes a first stage and a second stage. The linearization circuit receives a first signal that includes a first frequency and a second frequency and generates a difference signal having a frequency approximately equal to the difference of the first frequency and the second frequency, generates an envelope signal based at least in part on a power level of the first signal, and adjusts a magnitude of the difference signal based on the envelope signal. When the differential amplifier receives the first signal at an input terminal, the first stage receives the adjusted signal, and the second stage does not receive the adjusted signal, intermodulation between the adjusted signal and the first signal cancels at least a portion of the intermodulation between the first frequency and the second frequency from the output of the differential amplifier.
