Abstract:
Amplification with post-distortion compensation is disclosed. In an example aspect, an apparatus includes a voltage rail and a cascode amplifier. The cascode amplifier includes an amplification node, a cascode node, and a common-source node. The cascode amplifier also includes at least one cascode transistor, an input transistor, and a compensation transistor. The cascode transistor is coupled between the amplification node and the cascode node. The input transistor is coupled between the cascode node and the common-source node. The compensation transistor is coupled between the voltage rail and the cascode node.

Claim (Index 12):
An apparatus for amplification, comprising:\n an amplifier including:\n amplification circuitry configured to produce an amplified signal based on an input signal, the amplification circuitry including:\n a cascode node; \n input amplification circuitry coupled to the cascode node, the input amplification circuitry configured to accept the input signal and produce an input current at the cascode node based on the input signal; and \n cascode amplification circuitry coupled to the cascode node and configured to produce the amplified signal based on a cascode current at the cascode node; and \n \n compensation circuitry coupled to the cascode node, the compensation circuitry configured to produce a compensation current and apply the compensation current to the amplification circuitry via the cascode node to counteract a component of the input current, wherein the cascode amplification circuitry includes a regular cascode transistor coupled between an amplification node and the cascode node; and the compensation circuitry includes:\n a compensation cascode transistor coupled between the amplification node and the cascode node; and \n a controller coupled to the regular cascode transistor and the compensation cascode transistor, the controller configured to selectively disable the regular cascode transistor and enable the compensation cascode transistor responsive to activation of compensation functionality of the amplifier.
