Abstract:
A receiver front end having low noise amplifiers (LNAs) is disclosed herein. A cascode having a “common source” configured input FET and a “common gate” configured output FET can be turned on or off using the gate of the output FET. A first switch is provided that allows a connection to be either established or broken between the source terminal of the input FET of each LNA. A drain switch is provided between the drain terminals of input FETs to place the input FETs in parallel. This increases the g m  of the input stage of the amplifier, thus improving the noise figure of the amplifier.

Claim (Index 22):
A method for amplifying a signal in more than one amplifier including:\n (a) coupling the signal to be amplified to the input of at least a first and second LNA, each LNA having an input transistor and an output transistor, each transistor having a first terminal, a second terminal and a third terminal; (b) coupling the second terminal of the output transistor of the first LNA to the third terminal of the input transistor of the first LNA; (c) coupling the second terminal of the output transistor of the second LNA to the third terminal of the input transistor of the second LNA; (d) turning on the output transistors of the first and second LNAs during a first mode; (e) opening a switch between the third terminal of the input transistor of the first LNA and the third terminal of the input transistor of the second LNA during the first mode; (f) turning off one of the output transistors during a second mode; and (g) closing the switch between the third terminal of the first and second input transistors in the second mode.
