    Abstract: Techniques for routing and shielding signal lines to improve isolation between the signal lines are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus includes first, second, and third signal lines and a switch. The first, second, and third signal lines are configurable to carry first, second, and third signals, respectively. The switch is coupled between the second signal line and AC ground and is closed when the second signal line is not carrying the second signal. The second signal line isolates the first and third signal lines when the switch is closed. Adjacent signal lines are not active at the same time. A signal line may include positive and negative signal lines, which may have at least one cross over in order to cancel coupling between the positive and negative signal lines.

    Abstract: Amplifiers with noise splitting to improve noise figure are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus (e.g., a wireless device, an integrated circuit, etc.) includes a plurality of amplifier circuits and at least one interconnection circuit. The amplifier circuits receive an input radio frequency (RF) signal. The interconnection circuit(s) are coupled between the plurality of amplifier circuits. Each interconnection circuit is closed to short the outputs or internal nodes of two amplifier circuits coupled to that interconnection circuit. The plurality of amplifier circuits may include a plurality of gain circuits coupled to a plurality of current buffers, one gain circuit and one current buffer for each amplifier circuit. Each amplifier circuit provides an output current, which may include a portion of the current from each of the plurality of gain circuits when the plurality of amplifier circuits are enabled.

    Abstract: Amplifiers with boosted or deboosted source degeneration inductance are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus includes an amplifier circuit and a feedback circuit. The amplifier circuit receives an input signal and provides an output signal and includes a source degeneration inductor. The feedback circuit is coupled between a node of the amplifier circuit and the source degeneration inductor. The feedback circuit provides feedback to vary an input impedance of an amplifier including the amplifier circuit and the feedback circuit. The feedback circuit may be programmable and may be enabled to provide feedback or disabled to provide no feedback. Alternatively, the feedback circuit may always be enabled to provide feedback. In either case, the feedback circuit may have a variable gain to provide a variable input impedance for the amplifier.
