    Abstract: A low noise amplifier comprises at least one amplifying transistor (Ts1; Ts2) configured in a common source configuration to receive an input signal (RFin) at a gate terminal and provide an amplified signal at a drain terminal and at least one feedback path arranged to couple a part of the amplified signal back to the gate terminal and comprising a feedback impedance. The low noise amplifier further comprises a self-coupled step-up transformer having at least one primary winding (Lp) connected to a supply voltage (Vdd) and the drain terminal of the at least one amplifying transistor and at least one self-coupled secondary inductor winding (Lf1; Lf2) arranged in the feedback path. The low noise amplifier provides a better suppression for out-band interference and at the same time it has a wider input match bandwidth, decent conversion gain and decent noise figure without increasing power consumption.

    Abstract: A mixer in an RF demodulator includes a transconductance amplifier (12) that converts an RF input voltage (Vin), applied to the base of a first bipolar transistor (Q1), to a first output current (I) containing third order intermodulation (IM3) products, an IM3 canceller (14) being connected in parallel with the transconductance amplifier. The base of a second bipolar transistor (Q2) in the IM3 canceller is coupled to the DC component of Vin, and the AC component of Vin is coupled to the emitter of the second bipolar transistor, such that the currents though the first bipolar transistor and the currents through the second bipolar transistor change oppositely. The collectors of the transistors are coupled together. The values of components in the IM3 canceller are set during simulation and calibration so that the current generated by the IM3 canceller substantially cancels out IM3 distortion in the first current or other current generated in a demodulator of Vin.

    Abstract: In a double-loop negative feedback low noise amplifier having double negative feedback paths by a feedback transformer (23) and a feedback resistor (44) added to a cascode amplifier comprising transistors (24, 27) and a resistor (30), a phase compensation circuit comprising a capacitor (42) and a resistor (45) is added between the output terminal of the double-loop negative feedback low noise amplifier and the input terminal of the cascode amplifier, i.e., the input terminal of the input transistor (24), and a phase compensation circuit comprising a capacitor (43) and a resistor (28) is added to the upper-stage transistor of the cascode amplifier, i.e., the input terminal of the upper-stage transistor (27). Those phase compensation circuits enable a low noise negative feedback amplifier which maintains a high feedback loop gain to a high frequency band, has a wider bandwidth than a conventional one, and has a high dynamic range.

    Abstract: The low noise amplifier comprises a pair of differential amplifier transistors (Ml, M2) having their drains connected to respective cascode transistors (M3, M4) . While the gates of the amplifier transistors (Ml, M2) are connected to an input differential inductor (Ll) for receiving an RF input signal, the sources of the amplifier transistors (Ml, M2) are connected to a source differential inductor (L2) . The drains of the cascode transistors (M3, M4) are connected to a load differential inductor (L3) and to the inputs of a buffer circuit (260) comprising two source followers (M0l, M02) . The tail current for the differential amplifier is provided by a current source (272) via a current mirror (M5, M6) .

    Abstract: A galvanic isolation circuit (GI) includes a differential transformer (20) having primary (21) and secondary (22) windings for transmission of signals over a carrier (DT) between the primary (21) and the secondary (22) windings of the transformer. The primary (21) and secondary (22) windings have a galvanic isolation oxide layer (23) therebetween and include center taps (21a, 22a) providing low-impedance paths for dc and low frequency components of common-mode currents through the differential transformer (20). A pass-band stage (24) coupled to the secondary winding (22) of the transformer (20) is configured for permitting propagation of signals over said carrier through the pass-band amplifier stage (24) while providing rejection of common-mode noise.
