    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a programmable input impedance circuit for a radio frequency (RF) low noise amplifier (LNA) including a high impedance mode circuit and a low impedance mode circuit. The high impedance mode circuit includes an inductor-degenerated transconductor transistor, an inductor selectively coupled between a source of the inductor-degenerated transconductor transistor and a ground, and a capacitor coupled between a gate of the inductor-degenerated transconductor transistor and the source of the inductor-degenerated transconductor transistor. The low impedance mode circuit includes a shunt resistor selectively coupled between an RF input source and an alternating current (AC) ground.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC), comprising: a first input pin for receiving a first input signal; a first converter configured to convert the first input signal to a first output signal; a first gain stage configured to apply a first gain to the first output signal; gain update circuitry configured to: output a first external gain control signal to a first output pin of the IC; and subsequently output a first internal gain control signal to the first gain stage to update the first gain of the first gain stage, wherein output of the first internal gain control signal is delayed relative to output of the first external gain control signal by a first predetermined delay, the first predetermined delay to compensate for signal chain delay between the first input pin and the first gain stage.

    Abstract: An electromagnetic energy delivery apparatus comprises: an amplifier; an amplifier input configured to provide to the amplifier a signal to be amplified; bias circuitry configured to provide a bias signal to the amplifier, wherein amplifying of the input signal by the amplifier is dependent on the bias signal provided by the bias circuitry; an amplifier output configured to provide an output signal comprising an amplified version of the input signal, for providing energy delivery to a radiating element to produce electromagnetic radiation; and a controller configured to control operation of the bias circuitry to provide a time- varying bias signal thereby to provide a desired time variation of the output signal.
