An RF power amplifier having reduced memory effects is disclosed. This is achieved by a novel design of the DC supply feed network to achieve low impedance across video frequencies, whilst maintaining the correct RF output matching. One or more transmission zeros are provided in the bias circuit transfer function, which are positioned in the video bandwidth so as to provide low and relatively constant impedance across the video bandwidth. Also, a parallel DC feed line may be employed to reduce impedance across the video bandwidth. The reduction in memory effects allows improved performance of predistortion linearization techniques and an implementation in a feed forward amplifier employing predistortion linearization is also disclosed.

An output of the first amplifier is coupled to the frequency selection circuit input.

The first and second amplifiers and the first and second phase shifters are coupled in a loop such that the frequency dependence of an impedance presented at the output of the first amplifier emulates the impedance of a parallel RLC tank circuit, providing a Q on the order of ten at a center frequency nullo of several hundred megahertz. The output of the second amplifier may be used to provide a high Q, tuned transimpedance amplification function relative to the input.

A two stage low noise amplifier (10) includes a first stage (12) and a second stage (14). The first stage (12) receives an input signal (VIN), performs single to differential conversion on the input signal (VIN), and generates an input differential signal (VA and VB) therefrom.

The first stage (12) provides the input differential signal (VA and VB) to the second stage (14) without any loss in amplifier gain. The second stage (14) performs image rejection on the input differential signal (VA and VB) and generates an output differential signal (Vnull and Vnull) therefrom. The first stage (12) and the second stage (14) include a tuning circuit to adjust a center operating frequency of the amplifier (10). The first stage (12) and the second stage (14) receive control signals from a control bus (16) in order to adjust the center operating frequency.
