Abstract
Compact low noise amplifiers that have wide-band coverage while meeting necessary input matching and output matching characteristics. Embodiments include a wide-band, two-stage LNA with minimum degradation in performance compared to multiple narrow-band, single-stage LNAs. A generalized embodiment includes a first amplifier stage having a terminal coupled to a mutually coupled inductor circuit and to a second amplifier stage. The second amplifier stage includes a terminal coupled to the mutually coupled inductor circuit. The mutually coupled inductor circuit comprises electromagnetically coupled inductors L, L. Second terminals of the first and second amplifier stages are coupled to respective degeneration inductors. The electromagnetically coupled inductors L, Lof the inductor circuit substantially increase the output bandwidth of the LNA with minimum degradation in performance.
