1. A differential amplifier, comprising:
a first single-ended amplifier circuit;
a second single-ended amplifier circuit; and
a four-port transformer circuit having two input ports and two output ports, the two input ports being coupled to the first and second single-ended amplifier circuits, respectively, to form the differential amplifier, and the four-port transformer circuit operable to suppress even order intermodulation distortion signals on signals provided on the output ports.
