摘要:
RF voltage amplifier circuits which have high voltage amplifier gain and input signal frequency range, and a method for boosting the voltage amplifier gain and input signal frequency range in such circuits is provided. A method includes the steps of providing a voltage amplifier having a transistor with the grounded source and the drain connected to a power supply via a resistive load, and providing an integrated inductor for biasing the transistor, having an inductor connecting an input signal terminal to the gate of the transistor and a capacitor connecting the gate and the source of the transistor. The next step includes selecting a resonant frequency of the integrated inductor at a frequency where the voltage amplifier gain is starting to roll-off, for boosting the voltage amplifier gain and the input signal frequency range. The integrated inductor preferably operates at a resonant frequency approximately matching the roll-off frequency of the voltage amplifier. In another embodiment the voltage amplifier has a common emitter (CE) gain stage, a common base (CB) cascade stage directly-coupled to the CE gain stage, and a constant current mirror source. The integrated inductor has two inductors, each connected to one input of the amplifier input signal pair and a capacitor connecting the inductors. This circuit can be adapted for fully differential operation mode or for single ended operation mode.
