Abstract: The present technique pertains to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, and a receiving apparatus that enable gain control to be appropriately performed on various interfering signals.
An amplifier controls a gain according to a count value to amplify a signal, and a comparator compares the signal outputted by the amplifier with the count value. An accumulator counts the count value according to an output from the comparator. The present technique can be applied to, for example, a receiving apparatus that receives an RF signal for a television broadcast.-

Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry with a processor, a transceiver, an antenna, and a front-end module coupled between the transceiver and the antenna. The front-end module may include one or more radio-frequency amplifiers for amplifying a radio-frequency signal. The radio-frequency amplifier may include input transistors cross-coupled with capacitance neutralization transistors and/or coupled to cascode transistors. One or more n-type gain adjustment transistors may be coupled to source terminals of the capacitance neutralization transistors. One or more p-type gain adjustment transistors may be coupled to source terminals of the cascode transistors. One or more processors in the electronic device can selectively activate one or more of the gain adjustment transistors to reduce the gain of the radio-frequency amplifier without degrading noise performance and without altering the in-band frequency response of the radio-frequency amplifier.

Abstract: A receiver front end capable of receiving and processing intraband non-contiguous carrier aggregate (CA) signals using multiple low noise amplifiers (LNAs) is disclosed herein. A cascode having a “common source” input stage and a “common gate” output stage can be turned on or off using the gate of the output stage. A first switch is provided that allows a connection to be either established or broken between the source terminal of the input stage of each cascode. Further switches used for switching degeneration inductors, gate/sources caps and gate to ground caps for each legs can be used to further improve the matching performance of the invention.
