Abstract

A low noise amplifier (LNA) reduces matching and switch noise. The LNA includes a main radio frequency signal path, an auxiliary radio frequency signal path and a phase shifter. The main path includes a first transistor and an inductor. The inductor is positioned between an input port of the LNA and the first transistor. The first transistor receives an input radio frequency signal via the inductor and provides a first amplified signal based on the input radio frequency signal. The auxiliary radio frequency signal path provides a second amplified signal for a noise cancellation mode based on the input radio frequency signal. The phase shifter applies a phase shift to an output signal of the LNA based on the first amplified signal and the second amplified signal.
