Abstract
A radio frequency amplifier circuit includes a substrate that is capable of receiving a substrate bias voltage. The source of a transistor is capable of receiving a source bias voltage. The drain of the transistor is capable of receiving a drain bias voltage. The gate of the transistor is located between the source and the drain. A radio frequency input signal is coupled to the gate. A substrate bias circuit provides the substrate bias voltage. The substrate bias voltage and the source bias voltage forward bias the first diode formed by the source and the substrate. The substrate bias voltage and the drain bias voltage reverse bias the second diode formed by the drain and the substrate.
