Patent ID: 10461703

Abstract:
A common-source Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) comprises a first spiral inductor coupled to a source of a first transistor, a second spiral inductor coupled to a drain of a second transistor, and a third inductor connecting the first transistor to the second transistor. The third inductor is configurable to enable a first capacitance to be coupled in parallel to form a bandpass filter. The first spiral inductor is configurable to enable a second capacitance to be coupled in parallel to form a resonant circuit. A variation of the LNA further includes a drain of a third transistor coupled to a gate of a fourth transistor with a first width, a source of the third transistor coupled to the resonant circuit, and an oscillator clock configured to operate at a first frequency that enables the third transistor, wherein the third transistor presents a first impedance to the resonant circuit, causing the resonant circuit to have a first bandwidth.
