Abstract
Disclosed is a step variable gain amplifier for linearly amplifying a signal received from an antenna. The step variable gain amplifier includes: an amplification unit for converting and amplifying a voltage component of a received signal into a current voltage according to a step amplification control signal; a controller for generating a step amplification control signal of the received signal and controlling on/off of the amplification unit according to the control signal; and an output unit connected to the amplification unit, the output unit outputting a voltage component from the signal that has been subjected to conversion into the current component and amplification processes.
