Method and apparatus for implementing a low noise amplifier with associated gain and input impedance
Abstract:
An apparatus with associated gain and input impedance includes gain devices, a switching unit and a resistor. A first differential pair of gain devices and associated bias circuitry is configured to operate in a full gain mode. A second differential pair of gain devices is configured to operate in a reduced gain mode. The switching unit is configured to disable the first differential pair of gain devices and enable the second differential pair of gain devices in the reduced gain mode and to disable the second differential pair of gain devices and enable the first differential pair of gain devices in the full gain mode. The resistor is configured to maintain constant input impedance of the apparatus when in the reduced gain mode.
