Abstract
A method for pre-amplifying an input voltage signal to a pre-amplified voltage signal. The method includes receiving the input voltage signal; obtaining a high-pass filtered voltage signal by applying a high-pass filter to the input voltage signal; processing the high-pass filtered voltage signal to a current signal that corresponds to the high-pass filtered voltage signal; transmitting the current signal through a differential transmission line; converting the transmitted current signal to a converted voltage signal that corresponds to the high-pass filtered voltage signal; and outputting the converted voltage signal as the pre-amplified voltage signal. An integrated circuit chip implementing the method is also disclosed.
