Low-noise amplifier, receiver, method and computer program

摘要

A differential cross-coupled common-source or common-emitter low-noise amplifier having capacitive degeneration is disclosed. Further, a radio receiver comprising such a low-noise amplifer is disclosed. Further, a method of controlling switched capacitive networks of an amplifier is disclosed. The method comprises controlling capacitances of the switched degeneration capacitor networks and/or the switched cross-coupling capacitor networks. Further, a computer program for implementing the method is disclosed.
