Abstract
An RF amplifier comprising an input-transistor having an input-transistor-base terminal, an input-transistor-collector terminal and an input-transistor-emitter terminal; a degeneration-component connected between the input-transistor-emitter terminal and a ground terminal; and a protection-transistor having a protection-transistor-base terminal, a protection-transistor-collector terminal and a protection-transistor-emitter terminal. The input-transistor-base terminal is connected to the protection-transistor-emitter terminal, and the protection-transistor-base terminal is connected to the input-transistor-emitter.
