<p>A variable gain low noise amplifier is disclosed that offers flat gain versus frequency throughout the entire cable and broadcast television signal spectrum. The circuit uses multiple stages and buffering techniques to cancel the primary source of high frequency gain degradation. The invention also uses variable capacitor networks which track with gain control to control peaking within the circuit so as to have consistent gain control with frequency and gain. A further aspect of the invention is in the use of capacitors within the circuit to act as simple band-pass filters to roll off segments of the spectrum away from the channel of interest, thus reducing system-level distortion in a receiver.</p> |
