Which mechanism causes increased noise when amplifiers approach saturation?

💡 Explanation

Carrier Multiplication creates harmonic distortion as the amplifier's transistor's conductivity is non-linear with increased current. This occurs because increased bias voltage causes more carriers, therefore saturation causes distortion products rather than clean amplification because the gain is dynamically affected.
