The intermodulation distortion (IMD) performance of wideband, DC-coupled amplifiers is a relatively new area for integrated operational amplifier suppliers. New progresses in IC technology extend the application of op amps where some years ago discrete circuits played the major role. Methods to measure and communicate the extent of this distortion to users have been borrowed from traditional “RF” companies which have historically supplied the radar and radio communications industries, where the importance of it was first highlighted. Examples of applications demanding good intermodulation distortion include: • Radar • Satellite Communications • Digital Radio Receivers • Nuclear Particle Research • CAD Monitor Amplifier
