M.Sc Thesis — Weak Nonlinearities

University of Oslo, 1985

The thesis itself will be uploaded once it’s converted, preferably to English, and at least from printed form — it was written on a long-forgotten computer and I’m no longer able to read the diskettes. (Update since the old site: a scanned copy of the printed thesis exists and will be added here.)

Preceding my master thesis, I presented two papers at AES conventions in the early ’80s. One of these made it to the Journal of the AES — I’ve scanned it, so take a look: it’s about class AB distortion in power amplifiers. This article was also used by the Danish High Fidelity magazine, which published a follow-up article on it and presented an amplifier modification of their own, based on this article. I’ve not been able to locate that follow-up — I believe it was in 1983, possibly the October issue. If anyone has a copy, I’d appreciate it :-)

Class AB Distortion in Power Amplifiers — “Distortion in Class AB Power Amplifiers”, Terje Sandstrøm, presented as AES Convention 71, Paper No. 1870 (6 March 1982; AES E-Library), later published in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, Vol. 31, Issue 11, pp. 858–861 (November 1983; AES Journal Forum).

The second AES paper from this period is still unidentified — if the title turns up, it’ll be added here too.
