The present invention relates to a monolithic, concurrent multi-band low noise amplifier (LNA). The inventive LNA includes a three-terminal active device, such as a transistor with a characteristic transconductance, gm, disposed on a semiconductor substrate. The active device has a control input terminal, an output terminal, and a current source terminal. The amplifier also includes an input impedance matching network system, Zin, and an output load network. Zin simultaneously and independently matches the frequency-dependent input impedance of the three-terminal active device to a predetermined characteristic impedance at two or more discrete frequency bands. The output load network simultaneously provides a voltage gain, Av, to an input signal at the amplifier input at each of the two or more discrete frequency bands.
