Abstract:
A low noise amplifier is used to amplify a differential input pair to generate a differential output pair. The low noise amplifier includes two main paths, two assistant circuits and two adders to make noise carried on two output signals of the differential output pair be the same; therefore, the noise of the two output signals can be fully cancelled in the following operations.
Abstract:
A receiver front end circuit includes a low-noise amplifier including: a first receiver path having: a first low-noise transconductor to amplify a received signal and output the amplified received signal; and a first mixer to down-convert the amplified received signal. A second receiver path includes: an auxiliary receiver having: a second transconductor to output an amplified received signal; a baseband amplifier having an input port and an output port; a first resistance coupling the input port to the output port of the baseband amplifier and to convert the amplified received signal from current to voltage and set a voltage gain of the second receiver path; and a second resistance coupled from the output port of the baseband amplifier to the first mixer output. In some examples, frequency-upconversion feedback path includes a third mixer to frequency up-convert the amplified received signal at an output of the second receiver path.
