Abstract:
A low noise amplifier that includes a first cascode, a second cascode, an input circuit, an output node, a first switch, and a second switch. A source of a first common gate transistor and a drain of a first common source transistor of the first cascode are coupled to a first node of the low noise amplifier. The output node is coupled to a drain of the first common gate transistor, and to a drain of a second common gate transistor of the second cascode, thereby coupling the first cascode and the second cascode to a power supply via a load. The first switch is coupled between a gate of the first common gate transistor and the power supply. The second switch is coupled between the first node and the power supply. The first switch is configured to be open and the second switch is configured to be closed when the low noise amplifier operates at a first operational node. The first switch is configured to be closed and the second switch is configured to be open when the low noise amplifier operates at a second operational node that differs from the first operational mode by at least a gain of the low noise amplifier.

Abstract:
A novel and useful radio frequency (RF) front end module (FEM) circuit that provides high linearity and power efficiency and meets the requirements of modern wireless communication standards such as 802.11 WLAN, 3G and 4G cellular standards, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc. The configuration of the FEM circuit permits the use of common, relatively low cost semiconductor fabrication techniques such as standard CMOS processes. The FEM circuit includes a power amplifier made up of one or more sub-amplifiers having high and low power circuits and whose outputs are combined to yield the total desired power gain. An integrated multi-tap transformer having primary and secondary windings arranged in a novel configuration provide efficient power combining and transfer to the antenna of the power generated by the individual sub-amplifiers.
