5G NR Configurable Wideband RF Front-End LNA

摘要

Methods and devices addressing design of reconfigurable wideband LNAs to meet stringent gain, noise figure, and linearity requirements with multiple gain modes are disclosed. The disclosed teachings can be used to reconfigure RF receiver front-end to operate in various applications imposing stringent and conflicting requirements, such as 5G NR radios. Wideband and narrowband input and output matching with gain modes using a combination of the same hardware and a switching network are also disclosed.
