A current amplifier having a gain factor substantially independent of the common emitter forward current gain (beta) of its component transistors uses a cascade arrangement of current mirror amplifiers (CMA's) to compensate for variations in beta. The output of a first CMA, which current transfer ratio thereof decreases as beta decreases, is connected to the input of a second CMA, which current transfer ratio thereof increases as beta decreases. The composite current gain of the combined first and second CMA's therefore tends to remain constant as the respective betas vary.
