Abstract
The invention relates to a low noise amplifier comprising an input stage and an output stage. The input matching and amplification of the amplifier are carried out by means of a common-base amplifier stage in a first cascade. An additional improvement is the use of a White's cascode with a high input impedance as a second stage of the cascade for matching the high output impedance of the common-base stage. The White's cascode also has a very low and stable output impedance, which serves the output matching very well. Furthermore, both stages have been so modified according to the invention that the collectors of their amplifier transistors are connected to the operating voltage by means of coils instead of resistors.
