An amplifier circuit, comprises a first amplifier stage contributing to a power of an amplified signal and a second amplifier stage contributing to the power of the amplified signal. The first amplifier stage and the second amplifier stage share a transistor.

Amplifier circuit, radio frequency receiver and mobile telecommunications device

An amplifier operates to provide a high output impedance at an output through a push stage having a first transistor of a first transistor type and a pull stage having a second transistor of a second transistor type that is different from the first transistor type. The first transistor and the second transistor are coupled in a common-gate configuration. The first transistor and the second transistor are shorted together via a capacitor coupled to an input and share a common current path as a push-pull current-reusing common-gate low noise amplifier with a broadband input matching.

High linearity push-pull common-gate amplifier

A system and method is provided for crosstalk reduction in a coupled transmission line on a multilayer structure. The coupled transmission line provides a high frequency signal such as from a local oscillator to an electronic component such as a mixer. The signal carried by the coupled transmission line may be buffered and asymmetrically tapped. The coupled transmission line may have individual parallel lines extending in the direction of current flow. The lines may carry current in opposite directions. Each line contains strips and/or is disposed on a different metallization layer. Strips on each metallization layer (before being routed to another metallization layer) may carry current in opposite directions and overlying strips on different metallization layers may carry current in opposite directions. Multiple strips of an individual line present on a single metallization layer may be disposed symmetrically around a centerline of the coupled transmission line.

Device and method for crosstalk reduction in transmission lines

Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to a low-noise amplifier (LNA) having a balun configuration. The LNA includes a DC current path coupling a first DC supply node to a second DC supply node. First and second output nodes and first and second input nodes are spaced apart along a length of the DC current path. A single-ended radio frequency (RF) input terminal is configured to deliver a single-ended RF signal to the first and second input nodes. A differential RF output terminal is made up of the first and second output nodes. The first and second output nodes are configured to cooperatively establish a differential output signal based on the single-ended RF signal. Other devices and methods are also disclosed.
