Abstract
A low noise amplifier (LNA) system for amplifying a plurality of carriers includes a first amplifier circuit that generates a first radio-frequency (RF) output signal by amplifying a first input RF signal corresponding to a first frequency band, the first amplifier circuit having a first input impedance, and a second amplifier circuit that generates a second RF output signal by amplifying the first input RF signal when the system is in a first multi-output mode, a second input impedance of the second amplifier having a first impedance value when the system is in the first multi-output mode. The LNA system further includes a first impedance controller that maintains the second input impedance of the second amplifier circuit at a second impedance value when the apparatus is in a mode other than the first multi-output mode. The second impedance value is substantially the same as the first impedance value.
