"Distortion compensation for a switch in an amplifier circuit" was invented by Robert Melis Visser (Nootdorp, Netherlands).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An amplifier circuit that includes a capacitor voltage divider that is selectively enabled with a switch. The circuit includes two capacitor banks where the banks are electrically coupled to opposing side terminals of the switch. When the capacitor voltage divider is not enabled, one bank is adjusted to control the gain of the amplifier. When the capacitor voltage divider is enabled, both banks are used to con...
