    Abstract: An LNA circuit for providing a wide range of gain while maintaining the output headroom. In a radio frequency (RF) receiver, the signal received by the receiver may be extremely small. For a transmitter in a short distance, the received signal may be relatively strong. A low power amplifier usually is used to amplify the input signal. The LNA has to be designed to accommodate a wide range of gain. A convention LNA circuit supporting a wide range of gain often suffers from reduced output headroom due to increased current through the load resistor. The present invention discloses the use of current bleeding branch to allow a portion of current to flow through the current bleeding branch and consequently reduces the current that would have flown through the load resistor. Consequently, the voltage across the load resistor may be maintained low to allow adequate output headroom.

    Abstract: A configurable multi-standard receiver. A receiver comprises a mixer, a processing module and an analog to digital converter is disclosed to receive multi-standard radio signals. The processing module includes a first selection switch and first parameter control, where the first selection switch configures the processing module as a complex filter or a real-valued filter and the first parameter control configures the characteristics of the filter. Furthermore, the analog to digital converted is preferably implemented using sigma delta modulation to achieve a desired noise shaping. The sigma delta modulation comprises a second selection switch and second parameter control. The second selection switch configures the sigma delta modulation to function as a unit having a complex loop filter or a unit having real-valued loop filters. The second parameter control configures the characteristics of the loop filter. The settings for the first and second selection switches and the first and second control parameters may be stored in a control register.

    Abstract: A low noise amplifier includes an input stage. The input stage includes a first device configured to receive an input signal. A second device is connected to the first device. The second device has a predetermined input impedance. The input stage is configured so that a change in the input signal to the first device causes a linearly proportional change in a conductance of the first device. A voltage at a junction between the first device and the second device remains substantially constant due to the predetermined input impedance of the second device.

    Abstract: A low-noise amplifier includes a first amplification device. The first amplification device includes a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The low-noise amplifier also includes a feedback circuit in communication with the control terminal and the first terminal. The feedback circuit compares a voltage, corresponding to an output current associated with the first terminal, with a predetermined reference voltage to generate a bias signal applied to the control terminal for biasing the low-noise amplifier.
