Abstract
Embodiments provide an amplifier and a method for using and manufacturing said amplifier that incorporate an impedance matching stage, a feedback circuit, and a gain stage. The impedance matching stage is coupled to the feedback circuit wherein the feedback circuit provides a compensated second bias voltage for the impedance matching stage. The output of the impedance matching stage is used to set an input bias voltage for both the impedance matching stage and the gain stage. The output of the impedance matching stage is also used, together with the output of the gain stage, to produce an output of the amplifier. A signal reuse stage may be provided between the output of the impedance matching stage and the output of the amplifier.
