Patent ID: 8385877

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a low noise amplifier (LNA) including a plurality of on-chip components; and wherein: the plurality of on-chip components including a plurality of metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) respectively connected in triple well configuration such that within each of the plurality of MOSFETs, its respective source being connected to its respective substrate, the plurality of MOSFETs respectively connected in triple well configuration including a first n-channel metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (N-MOSFET) and a second N-MOSFET, and the LNA further including one off-chip component, the one off-chip component being an off-chip inductor having a first end communicatively coupled to a gate of the first N-MOSFET via a first on-chip capacitor and a second on-chip capacitor and having a second end being communicatively coupled to a gate of the second N-MOSFET via a third on-chip capacitor and a fourth on-chip capacitor.
