Abstract:
An integrated circuit is disclosed for gain-dependent impedance matching and linearity. The integrated circuit includes at least two amplifier branches, an input inductor, and at least two degeneration inductors. Each amplifier branch includes a node, an input transistor, and a cascode stage connected between a drain of the input transistor and the node. Respective nodes of the at least two amplifier branches are connected together and respective gates of the input transistors of the at least two amplifier branches are connected together. The input inductor is connected to the respective gates, and the at least two degeneration inductors are connected between respective sources of the input transistors of the at least two amplifier branches and a ground. The at least two degeneration inductors are configured to establish a magnetic coupling with the input inductor and establish another magnetic coupling between each other.

Claim (Index 13):
An integrated circuit comprising:\n an input terminal; at least two amplifier branches, the at least two amplifier branches including:\n a first amplifier branch having a first node, a first input transistor, and a first cascode stage; the first input transistor having a first gate, a first source, and a first drain, the first gate connected to the input terminal and the first source connected to a ground; the first cascode stage connected between the first drain and the first node; and \n a second amplifier branch having a second node, a second input transistor, and a second cascode stage; the second input transistor having a second gate, a second source, and a second drain, the second gate connected to the first gate and the second source connected to the ground; the second cascode stage connected between the second drain and the second node, the second node connected to the first node; and \n inductive means for magnetically coupling together the first gate, the second gate, the first source, and the second source, the inductive means configured to produce, based on a first current that flows from the first source to the ground and a second current that flows from the second source to the ground, a portion of a third current that flows from the input terminal towards the first gate and the second gate.
