A low noise amplifier is provided for the receiver of a wireless communications system. The amplifier incorporates an image rejection function by incorporating a notch filter formed by an inductor and capacitor connected at a node between two active elements of the amplifier. The amplifier also incorporates a gain control function by adding a further active element connected to, on one hand, a node between the inductor and capacitor and, on the other hand, a voltage supply. A gain control signal is connected to the control input of the further active element has an input connected to a feedback lead of the receiver to provide the gain control.

Provided is a phase frequency detector for use in a phase locked loop (PLL) or a delay locked loop (DLL), the phase frequency detector including: an UP signal output unit having a first stage operated according to a reference clock delayed by a predetermined time and a reset signal, a second stage operated according to the reference clock and an output of the first stage, and an inverter for inverting an output of the second stage; a DOWN signal output unit having: a first stage operated according to an outer clock delayed by a predetermined time and the reset signal, a second stage operated according to the outer clock and an output of the first stage, and an inverter for inverting an output of the second stage; and a logic gate logically combining the output of the second stage of the UP signal output unit and the output of the second stage of the DOWN signal output unit to generate the reset signal, thereby a phase range of the input signal with which an effective control signal can be obtained is wide so that low power consumption and low noise characteristics can be obtained due to fast phase lock, low power consumption of a dynamic logic, and fast signal transmission.
