A low-noise amplifier circuit (40) and a method for generating a bias voltage within the amplifier circuit (40). The amplifier circuit includes a cascode configured circuit (15) having a common emitter transistor (12) biased by a current sourcing circuit (43) and a common base transistor (13) biased by a bias voltage generator (21). The current sourcing circuit (43) measures a base current of the common emitter transistor (12) and transmits the base current to a current mirror (41). Further, a current source (50) transmits a bias current to the current mirror (41). The current mirror sums the currents from the current sourcing circuit (43) and the current mirror (41) and generates a mirror output current. A portion of the mirror output current drives the bias voltage generator (21) and a portion of the mirror output current serves as the base current of the common base transistor (13).
