In this paper, novel architecture design rules are presented for ACLR-level measurement in feedforward adaptive amplifiers. Both main and distortion signal power levels are obtained without any masquerading effect and with minimum component utilization. A prototype implementation is introduced to validate the proposed design rules, and a commercial spectrum analyzer is used for accuracy checking. Finally, the thermal stability has been tested for the -20 degrees C to 70 degrees C range.}, language = {English}, number = {2}, journal = {Ieee Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement}, author = {Mayordomo, Iker and Legarda, J. and Presa, Jorge and Valderas, Daniel}, month = feb, year = {2009}, note = {WOS:000262428800027}, keywords = {Adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR), IF1.200, feed-forward amplifier, masquerading effect, nonlinear distortion, receiver}, pages = {429--433} }']
