Abstract

An apparatus (100) includes a differential processing circuit (135) responsive to an input signal with first and second signal components, and a signal imbalance suppressor (130) that preprocesses the input signal, prior to input to the differential processing circuit, to remove amplitude and/or phase imbalances that exist between the first and second signal components, in order to reduce even order distortion generation within the differential processing circuit.
