Abstract:
Provided herein are apparatus and methods for transconductance amplifiers, such as split cascode low-noise transconductance amplifiers (LNTAs). In an embodiment, an LNTA includes split current paths each coupled to a different mixer by way of a different alternating current (AC) coupling capacitor. The split current paths of the LNTA can be enabled during different modes of operation, such as when the input to the LNTA is within different frequency bands.
