Question A-006-005-005

What causes intermodulation in an electronic circuit?

Correct Answer

Nonlinear circuits or devices

Explanation

Intermodulation distortion (IMD) is generated when two or more signals pass through a non-linear component or stage (e.g., an overdriven amplifier or mixer). The non-linearity creates new frequencies at sums and differences of the original signals and their harmonics.
