    摘要: An LNA circuit for providing a wide range of gain while maintaining the output headroom. In a radio frequency (RF) receiver, the signal received by the receiver may be extremely small. For a transmitter in a short distance, the received signal may be relatively strong. A low power amplifier usually is used to amplify the input signal. The LNA has to be designed to accommodate a wide range of gain. A convention LNA circuit supporting a wide range of gain often suffers from reduced output headroom due to increased current through the load resistor. The present invention discloses the use of current bleeding branch to allow a portion of current to flow through the current bleeding branch and consequently reduces the current that would have flown through the load resistor. Consequently, the voltage across the load resistor may be maintained low to allow adequate output headroom.

    摘要: A low noise amplifier includes an input stage. The input stage includes a first device configured to receive an input signal. A second device is connected to the first device. The second device has a predetermined input impedance. The input stage is configured so that a change in the input signal to the first device causes a linearly proportional change in a conductance of the first device. A voltage at a junction between the first device and the second device remains substantially constant due to the predetermined input impedance of the second device.

    摘要: A low-noise amplifier includes a first amplification device. The first amplification device includes a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The low-noise amplifier also includes a feedback circuit in communication with the control terminal and the first terminal. The feedback circuit compares a voltage, corresponding to an output current associated with the first terminal, with a predetermined reference voltage to generate a bias signal applied to the control terminal for biasing the low-noise amplifier.

    摘要: A transceiver system includes a first receive path with a first antenna configured to receive first signals, a first configuration switch, a first low noise amplifier configured to amplify the first signals, a second configuration switch, and a receiver. The first receive path is selectively configured to supply the amplified first signals to the receiver via the first antenna, the first configuration switch, the first low noise amplifier, and the second configuration switch. A second receive path includes a second antenna configured to receive second signals, a second low noise amplifier configured to amplify the second signals, the second configuration switch, and the receiver. The second receive path (i) includes fewer configuration switches than the first receive path and (ii) is selectively configured to supply the amplified second signals to the receiver via the second antenna, the second low noise amplifier, and the second configuration switch.
