A technique for the reduction of third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) occurring in bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters and multiplexers is presented. The method consists of using the intrinsic second-order intermodulation distortion generated by BAW filters and multiplexers themselves by injecting an externally controlled amplitude and phase modulated signal at low frequency to compensate for the IMD3. The proposed technique has been experimentally verified by performing IMD3 measurements in a single BAW resonator subject to several modulated signals under a nonlinear scenario.
