Abstract: Attenuators having phase shift and gain compensation circuits. In some embodiments, a radio-frequency (RF) attenuator circuit can include one or more attenuation blocks arranged in series between an input node and an output node, with each attenuation block including a local bypass path. The RF attenuator circuit can further include a global bypass path implemented between the input node and the output node. The RF attenuator circuit can further include a phase compensation circuit configured to compensate for an off-capacitance effect associated with at least one of the global bypass path and the one or more local bypass paths.

Abstract: Multi-mode broadband low noise amplifiers (LNAs) are disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, an LNA includes a first amplification stage and a second amplification stage having a lower gain than the first amplification stage. The LNA is operable in a plurality of operating modes including a first mode in which the first amplification stage and the second amplification stage operate in a cascade to amplify a radio frequency (RF) receive signal, and a second mode in which the first amplification stage amplifies the RF receive signal and the second amplification stage is bypassed.

Abstract: Variable-phase amplifier circuits and devices. In some embodiments, an amplifier can include a variable-gain stage having a plurality of switchable amplification branches, with each being capable of being activated, such that a combination of one or more activated amplification branches provides respective gain level and phase shift. The plurality of switchable amplification branches can be configured such that the phase shift provided by each combination of one or more activated amplification branches compensates for a phase shift associated with the amplifier operating with the respective gain level of the variable-gain stage.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for amplifying radio-frequency signals using a variable-gain amplifier with a plurality of input nodes. The methods provide a plurality of gain modes with a low gain mode or bypass mode that follows a bypass path through the variable-gain amplifier and a plurality of higher gain modes that take advantage of tailored impedances for particular gain modes. The tailored impedances can be configured to improve linearity of the amplification process in targeted gain modes. The methods can selectively couple the bypass path to a reference potential node in the plurality of higher gain modes and can selectively decouple the input nodes from a degeneration switching block in the bypass mode.

Abstract: Described herein are variable-gain amplifier configurations that include a multi-input gain stage, a cascode buffer, and a bypass block. Degeneration switching blocks can be used for the entire multi-input gain stage or for individual input nodes of the multi-input gain stage. This advantageously reduces or eliminates performance penalties in one or more gain modes. The variable impedances can be configured to improve linearity of the amplification process in targeted gain modes. The variable gain amplifier can be configured to provide a low-loss bypass mode in a low gain mode to improve signal quality.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are signal amplifiers having a plurality of amplifier cores. Individual amplifier cores can be designed for particular gain modes to enhance particular advantages while reducing other disadvantages. The signal amplifier can then switch between amplifier cores when switching gain modes to achieve desired performance characteristics (e.g., improving noise figure or linearity). Examples of signal amplifiers disclosed herein include amplifier architectures with a high gain amplifier core that reduces the noise figure and a linearity boost amplifier core that increases linearity (e.g., for lower gain modes). The disclosed signal amplifiers have a first active core with amplification chains for each of a plurality of inputs and a second active core with a single amplification chain to amplify signals received at the plurality of inputs.
