im quite familir with the plate characteristics for making loadlines and calculating 2nd 3d and 4th harmonic distortions.
but recently ive started to have fun with the transfer characteristics. i guess the curves found there is a gm curve. does that sound right?
something that i noted (if im doing this the right way) is that if i do a thd analysis of the curve in the transfer charecteristics i can get obvious anomalies depending on the bias point while in the plate characteristics i can get very nice linearity doing loadlines with the same bias points?
Is the gm curve showing intrinsic thd or even something that translates to IMD?
Is it good pratice to find a bias and load that shows good linearity on both plots?
Have a nice day!
