    Abstract: A matching unit (200) configured to match a load of an amplifier circuit to an external circuit. The matching unit (200) comprises a first reactance configured to generate a first positive reactance at low frequencies and a second positive reactance at high frequencies. A second reactance unit comprises at least one series capacitor (C s ) and at least one series inductor (L s ) serially coupled between a resistor (R L ) and the first and second outputs of the amplifier. The second reactance unit is configured to generate a negative reactance at low frequencies and a third positive reactance at high frequencies; and a third reactance unit configured to generate a short at high frequencies so as to reduce a parasitic capacitance at the first and second outputs of the amplifier at high frequencies, wherein said first, second, and third reactance units are configured to operate together to provide a generally constant impedance across a wideband frequency range.

    Abstract: A differential low noise amplifier (LNA) is operable in a selectable one of two modes. The LNA includes a first transistor (204), a second transistor (205), a third transistor (206) and a fourth transistor. In the first mode (PDC mode), the four transistors are configured to operate as a post-distortion cancellation (PDC) LNA. The third (206) and fourth (207) transistors operate as cancel transistors that improve linearity, but reduce LNA gain somewhat. In the second mode (high gain mode), the third (206) and fourth (207) transistors are configured so that amplified versions of the LNA input signal that they output are added to amplified versions of the LNA input signal that are output by the first and second main transistors (204, 205), resulting in increased gain. Multiplexing circuits are provided within the LNA so that the LNA is configurable into a selectable one of the two modes by controlling a digital mode control signal supplied to the LNA.

    Abstract: A capacitance multiplier circuit is configured to sense a current through a capacitor in an RC filter of the circuit and to multiply the current so as to achieve a capacitance multiplier effect without adding additional circuitry or requiring additional power. The circuit includes an RC filter, a first signal path connected to a filter output, and a second signal path connected to an input to the filter. A current output through the filter (iout) is split between the two paths, sensed in the first path and multiplied in the second path. The multiplied current is fed back from the second path to the filter input to raise the effective capacitance of capacitor C. The capacitance multiplier circuit, in raising the effective capacitance of the capacitor in the filter, does not affect the frequency response, linearity performance and/or stability of the overall circuit.

    Abstract: An amplifier arrangement comprises a signal input (Iin+, Iin- ) to receive a signal to be amplified, a signal output (Out) to provide an amplified signal, an amplifier stage (AS) coupled between the signal input (Iin+, Iin-) and the signal output (Out), a switchable dynamic biasing stage (DB) with an input coupled to the signal input (Iin+, Iin-), a switchable gain boosting stage (GB) with an input coupled to the signal input (Iin+, Iin-), and a switching device (SD) coupled to the amplifier stage (AS) such that either an output of the switchable dynamic biasing stage (DB) or an output of the switchable gain boosting stage (GB) are coupled to the amplifier stage (AS). In one embodiment, by enabling the switchable dynamic biasing stage (DB) in an initial large-signal phase of amplification and the switchable gain boosting stage (GB) in a latter small-signal phase of amplification by means of the switching device (SD), high gain and low current consumption are simultaneously realised. Furthermore, a method for signal amplification is provided.
