Abstract: Amplifiers with configurable mutually-coupled source degeneration inductors are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus (e.g., a wireless device or an integrated circuit) includes a gain transistor and a plurality of inductors, which may implement an amplifier. The gain transistor receives an input signal and provides an amplified signal. The plurality of inductors are mutually coupled, are coupled to the gain transistor, and provide a programmable source degeneration inductance for the gain transistor. The inductors may have a positive coupling coefficient and may provide a larger source degeneration inductance. Alternatively, the inductors may have a negative coupling coefficient and may provide a smaller source degeneration inductance.

Abstract: Techniques for providing a receiver front end supporting carrier aggregation with gain alignment and improved matching across modes. In an aspect, auxiliary circuitry is configurable to selectively enable or disable mutual coupling between a source degeneration inductor of an LNA input transistor and an auxiliary inductor. A negative turns ratio coupling is provided between the inductors, such that the effective inductance of the source degeneration inductor is lowered when mutually coupled to the auxiliary inductor. In a non-carrier aggregation (non-CA) mode, the auxiliary inductor is disabled, while in a carrier aggregation (CA) mode, the auxiliary inductor is enabled. In this manner, using a single transistor, gain alignment across non-CA and CA modes is achieved. Furthermore, matching is preserved across non-CA and CA modes using a single external matching component.
