Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to an amplifier configured to process signals received in different frequency bands, where at least a portion of the amplifier is shared between different modes corresponding to the different frequency bands. One example circuit generally includes an amplifier having at least one first transistor configured to amplify a first signal received in a first mode of operation (e.g., associated with a particular frequency band), and at least one second transistor configured to amplify a second signal received in a second mode of operation. The amplifier may also include a transformer comprising a primary winding and a secondary winding, and one or more switches configured to selectively couple the primary winding to the first transistor or the second transistor based on the first mode or the second mode of operation, respectively. In certain aspects, the transformer may be coupled to a transconductance circuit.
