RADIO FREQUENCY LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER WITH ON-CHIP MATCHING AND BUILT-IN TUNABLE FILTER

摘要

An amplifier includes a gain transistor including a control terminal to receive an input signal. A degeneration inductor is coupled between the first terminal of the gain transistor and ground. A shunt inductor and a capacitor are coupled in series between the control terminal of the gain transistor and ground, and form a filter to attenuate frequencies of the input signal within a frequency range. The degeneration inductor and the shunt inductor form a transformer to provide impedance matching.
