Abstract

RF receive circuitry, which includes a first output impedance matching circuit coupled to a first alpha output of a first alpha LNA, a second output impedance matching circuit coupled to a first beta output of a first beta LNA, and a first dual output RF LNA, is disclosed. The first dual output RF LNA includes the first alpha LNA, the first beta LNA, and a first gate bias control circuit, which is coupled between a first alpha input of the first alpha LNA and ground; is further coupled between a first beta input of the first beta LNA and the ground; is configured to select one of enabled and disabled of the first alpha LNA using an alpha bias signal via the first alpha input; and is further configured to select one of enabled and disabled of the first beta LNA using a beta bias signal via the first beta input.
