Abstract: A reconfigurable LNA for increased jammer rejection is disclosed. An exemplary embodiment includes an LNA having a tunable resonant frequency, and a detector configured to output a control signal to tune the resonant frequency of the LNA to increase jammer suppression. An exemplary method includes detecting if a jammer is present, tuning a resonant frequency of an LNA away from the jammer to increase jammer rejection if the jammer is present, and tuning the resonant frequency of the LNA to a selected operating frequency if the jammer is not present.

Abstract: An apparatus includes first and second filters and a bandwidth control circuit. The first filter operates as part of a first oscillator in a first mode and filters a first input signal and provides a first output signal in a second mode. The second filter operates as part of a second oscillator in the first mode and filters a second input signal and provides a second output signal in the second mode. The bandwidth control circuit adjusts the bandwidth of the first and second filters in the first mode, e.g., adjusts the oscillation frequency of each oscillator to obtain a target bandwidth for an associated filter. The apparatus may further include first and second gain control circuits. Each gain control circuit may vary the amplitude of an oscillator signal from an associated oscillator and/or set a gain of an associated filter in the first mode.

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing gain or noise figure of an RF receiver are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment a controller controls a capacitor bank between an LNA and a mixer of the RF front end of the receiver. For a given center frequency a first set of capacitors is switched to the mixer and a second set of capacitors is switched to ground. The ratio of capacitance of the second set to the first set of capacitors affects either gain of the RF FE or noise figure of the receiver. Therefore, the RF FE of the receiver may be controlled in such a way as to optimize for either RF FE gain or for receiver noise figure.
