Abstract:
Aspects of this disclosure relate to an impedance transformation circuit and overload protection for a low noise amplifier. A low noise amplifier can include a first inductor, an amplification circuit configured to amplify a radio frequency signal, and a second inductor magnetically coupled to the first inductor to provide negative feedback to linearize the low noise amplifier. A switch can be coupled to the amplification circuit of the low noise amplifier. An overload protection circuit can adjust an impedance of the switch based on a signal level associated with the radio frequency signal to provide overload protection for the low noise amplifier.
