Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present invention, an amplifier includes an amplifying transistor coupled to a ground and operable to amplify a received signal. One or more bias components provide a bias resistance for the amplifying transistor. The one or more bias components include a control modulator coupled in series between the amplifying transistor and the ground. The control modulator receives a control signal and modulates the amplifying transistor in response to the control signal.
