摘要:
A radio-frequency receiver for, e.g., receiving GPS signals in a cellular telephone has an input, a first gain stage in the form of a linear low noise amplifier with voltage- voltage feedback and a resonant load, and a second gain stage based on a common source input transconductor. Associated with the input and the first gain stage is a filter comprising a notch filter part for rejecting an interfering signal, e.g. a cell phone transmitter signal, and, connected between the parallel resonant circuit and the input, a series capacitance which, in combination with the inductor of the parallel-resonant circuit, forms a series-resonant circuit to provide a low impedance path at a wanted signal frequency.

An amplifier for amplifying a high frequency signal comprises an input matching circuit, an output matching circuit, an FET whose gate and drain are connected to the input matching circuit and the output matching circuit, respectively, and a gate voltage control circuit for controlling a gate voltage in accordance with a power of the high frequency signal, which is connected to a junction node of an output end of the input matching circuit and the gate of the FET. The gate voltage control circuit comprises a diode whose anode is connected to the gate, a capacitor disposed between a cathode of the diode and ground, and a gate bias setting circuit whose output is connected to a junction node of the diode and the capacitor. The gate bias setting circuit outputs a control voltage corresponding to a power of the high frequency signal. As the result, the matching of the output matching circuit is not deviated and a linearity of the output power to the input power is kept in a good state, resulting in an amplifier with high efficiency.
