Abstract:
Low noise amplifiers (LNAs) with output limiting are provided herein. In certain implementations, a gallium nitride (GaN) LNA includes LNA amplification circuitry and an output limiter that is connected to an output of the LNA amplification circuitry and operable to limit an output power of the GaN LNA. By limiting the output signal power, a number of benefits are achieved, including protection of downstream circuitry receiving the GaN LNA's output signal. For example, such downstream circuitry can be fabricated using silicon or other fabrication technology associated with a lower signal power handling capability relative to that of the GaN LNA.

Claim (Index 6):
A radio frequency (RF) communication system with controllable downstream circuit protection, the RF communication system comprising:\n a low noise amplifier (LNA) configured to amplify an RF input signal to generate an RF output signal; and a downstream circuit configured to receive the RF output signal from the LNA, wherein the LNA comprises a controllable output limiter configured to limit the RF output signal from the LNA with a controllable amount of output limiting; and wherein the controllable amount of output limiting is controllable based on voltage level of a DC input voltage.
