    摘要: Variable gain amplifiers offering high frequency response with improved linearity and reduced power dissipation are provided. An amplifier is disclosed that is constructed from a one-stage topology with multiple signal paths and compensation networks for improved linearity and stable operation. In this amplifier, improved performance is obtained by replacing single transistor components with enhanced active devices which incorporate local negative feedback. One embodiment of the invention is a transconductance enhancement circuit that improves transconductance and input impedance relative to the prior art. A further development is an enhanced active cascode circuit that provides improved linearity. A high frequency bipolar transistor switch is also disclosed that incorporates lateral PNP transistors as high frequency switches with improved OFF-state to ON-state impedance ratio to realize a variable gain function. These circuits are combined in an amplifier circuit that provides variable gain and high frequency performance, with improved linearity, gain, and input impedance.

    摘要: A combined current difference and operational amplifier circuit suitable for use either as or in a filter embodied in an integrated receiver.
    The illustrated circuit (10) comprises inputs (I A and I B ) for oppositely phased current signals which are applied to a current mirroring circuit formed by first and second NPN transistors (Q1,Q2) whose bases are connected to a junction (20). Equal value resistors (R1,R2) are serially connected in the emitter circuits of the first and second transistors and the current inputs are applied to the free ends of the resistors (R1,R2). The base-collector path of a third NPN transistor (Q3) is connected between the free end of one of the resistors (R1) and said junction (20). A current difference signal (i b -i a ) derived from the free end of the other of the resistors and is applied to the virtual earth input of an operational amplifier formed by a common emitter stage (Q4) coupled to an emitter follower (Q5), the operational amplifier has a capacitive (C1) feedback between its output and virtual earth input so that the d.c. potential at said input has no effect on the d.c. operating point at which the output sits.
    In an alternative embodiment, resistive (Rf) feedback may be used instead of a capacitive feedback.
    An embodiment is disclosed which enables the input and output voltage swings to be increased without unduly degrading the bandwidth.

    摘要: A conventional PNP transistor current mirror circuit (10) provides identical first and second reference currents (Ir) each containing the same noise component (which may be due to high frequency supply voltage Vs variations). An input current (Ii) is subtracted from the first reference current to provide a difference current (Id) containing the noise component in the first reference current. An NPN current mirror circuit (20) subtracts the difference current from the second reference current such that the noise component in the difference current cancels the noise component in the second reference current to provide an output current (Io) which is an identical "mirror image" of the input current and which is free of the cancelled noise component.
