Abstract

An amplifier is configured to amplify an RF signal as between an input terminal and an output terminal across a wideband frequency range. A first LC network is connected to the input terminal and has first and second reactive components. A first switching device is connected between the first and second reactive components and couples both the first and second reactive components to the input terminal in an ON state, and disconnects the second reactive component from the input terminal in an OFF state. A second LC network is connected to the output terminal and has third and fourth reactive components. A second switching device is connected between the third and fourth reactive components and couples both the third and fourth reactive components to the output terminal in an ON state and disconnects the fourth reactive component from the output terminal in an OFF state.
