Abstract:
An amplifier circuit configuration capable of processing non-contiguous intra-band carrier aggregate (CA) signals using amplifiers is disclosed herein. In some cases, each of a plurality of amplifiers is an amplifier configured as a cascode (i.e., a two-stage amplifier having two transistors, the first configured as a “common source” input transistor, e.g., input field effect transistor (FET), and the second configured in a “common gate” configuration as a cascode output transistor, (e.g. cascode output FET). In other embodiments, the amplifier may have additional transistors (i.e., more than two stages and/or stacked transistors). The amplifier circuit configuration can be operated in either single mode or split mode. A switchable coupling is placed between the drain of the input FETs of each amplifier within the amplifier circuit configuration. During split mode, the coupling is added to the circuit to allow some of the signal present at the drain of each input FET to be coupled to the drain of the other input FET.

Claim (Index 22):
The amplifier circuit configuration of  claim 21 , further comprising at least a second degeneration inductor and a second degeneration switch,\n wherein each SIC includes a gate capacitor and a gate switch coupled in series between the first terminal and the second terminal of the SIC, and wherein the second degeneration inductor and second degeneration switch are coupled in series between the source of a second input transistor and ground.
