Re: 3rd harmonic distortion

Well, since the gain stage is driven by the difference between the input and a portion of the output, the elimination of a particular harmonic would consist of scaling the inverted output so that the third harmonic component would be just great enough in amplitide to eliminate it from the output altogehter. At least that is the intuitive answer. Of course you could choose a different scaling factor to eliminate any other particular harmonic instead. Completely eliminating it assumes that the percentage of third harmonic distortion is not a particular function of freqeuncy over the desired range. If it is, then eliminating it at one frequency would not necessarily eliminate it at others.
