Abstract:
The disclosed technology is related to a radio-frequency (RF) amplifier having a bypass circuit and a resonant structure to improve performance in a bypass mode (e.g., a low gain mode). The disclosed amplifiers have a resonant structure that effectively isolates an amplifier core from a bypass circuit. For example, in a bypass mode, the resonant structure is configured to create an open impedance looking into the amplifier core input. This effectively removes any loading from the amplifier core to the bypass circuit. The disclosed amplifiers with resonant structures improve linearity performance in bypass modes due at least in part to the open impedance to the amplifier core provided by the resonant structure.

Claim (Index 1):
A variable-gain signal amplifier configured to operate in one or more gain modes and in a bypass mode, the amplifier comprising:\n an input node configured to receive an input signal; an output node configured to provide an output signal; an amplifier core configured to amplify the input signal and to provide the amplified output signal to the output node in the one or more gain modes; a resonant structure configured to provide a substantially open impedance in the bypass mode; and a bypass circuit coupled to the input node, the resonant structure, and the output node, the bypass circuit including a bypass switch configured to provide a bypass path from the input node to the output node that bypasses the amplifier core in the bypass mode.
