11. The result is near complete absence of harmonic distortion . 12. Another qualifier may lie in the total harmonic distortion . 13. \mbox { THD } _ i is the total harmonic distortion of the load current. 14. Even-harmonic distortion is automatically cancelled in a push-pull design. 15. In a push pull amplifier this second harmonic distortion is cancelled in the output transformer. 16. While effective, total harmonic distortion for this technology was higher than Nakamichi's receivers utilizing Stasis technology. 17. This scheme inherently introduces dynamic, even harmonic distortion . 18. This non-sinusoidal current leads to harmonic distortion and a poor power factor in the AC supply. 19. Also, at this time because the transfer function is no longer linear, harmonic distortion will result. 20. Pulse-width modulation ( PWM ) is usually used to improve the harmonic distortion of the converter.
