    摘要: Embodiments of a high-linearity low-noise amplifier (LNA) and method are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, an RF input signal may be amplified with a cascode amplifier and a common-gate stage. The common-gate stage is dynamically biased based on an output voltage of the common-gate stage to allow an output voltage swing to be shared between the cascode amplifier and the common-gate stage.

    摘要: An operating voltage applied to a transmitter's power amplifier in a mobile wireless transceiver is dynamically controlled so as to improve the efficiency of the transmitter at all output power levels. In one embodiment, the bias current levels within the transmitter are also varied to optimize the efficiency of the transmitter at all output power levels. In a preferred embodiment, a highly efficient switching regulator is controlled by a control circuit to adjust the operating voltage and/or bias current for the power amplifier in the transmitter. The control circuit has as its input any of a variety of signals which reflect the actual output power of the transmitter, the desired output power, or the output voltage swing of the transmitter.

Each gain stage includes a gain transistor and a cascode transistor to form a cascode amplifier, and a current diversion transistor to divert current away from a cascode transistor to reduce gain in the stage. A control circuit is included to maintain substantially constant drain-to-source voltage and drain current in the gain transistor.

    摘要: A circuit is described herein which effectively multiplies the value of a capacitor. The circuit draws current from an input node, where this current being drawn is related to the gain of an amplifier and the value of a capacitor, thus effectively amplifying the capacitance value of a capacitor as seen at the input node.

    摘要: A compensation method and apparatus for enhancing single-ended to differential conversion includes a compensation network that is coupled between the single-ended voltage input and the bias terminal of a differential stage. The compensation network has an impedance substantially equal to the impedance presented by the bias circuit used to bias the differential stage. Accordingly, the compensation network provides a current that substantially cancels the signal tail current supplied to the bias terminal of the differential stage, resulting in a balanced differential output. The compensation network may be AC coupled from the single-ended voltage input to the bias terminal in order to preserve the original DC operating condition. The compensation network may be chosen to provide more cancelling current at higher operating frequencies. Additionally, the compensation network can be configured to match a bias circuit built from resistors, transistors, current mirrors, or the like.
