Abstract
A transconductance amplifier (,) includes a multiple-stage amplifier (,) for amplifying an Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal. The transconductance amplifier includes a feedback path (,) having a resistance (,) for providing a feedback signal from an output of the multiple-stage amplifier (,) to an input of the multiple-stage amplifier (,). The resistance (,) of the feedback path (,) is selected so that an input impedance of the transconductance amplifier is equal to a source impedance at an input terminal (,) of the transconductance amplifier (,) and an output impedance of the transconductance amplifier (,) is equal to a load impedance at an output terminal (,) of the transconductance amplifier (,).
