Embodiment Construction

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3A , which is a block diagram of a high-linearity adjustable-gain low-noise amplifier of the present invention. The amplifier includes a gain control circuit (gain control circuit) 100 , a load circuit (load circuit) 110 , a current steering circuit (current steering circuit) 120 , and an input circuit (input circuit) 130 . The load circuit 110, the current guiding circuit 120, and the input circuit 130 are connected to form a cascode amplifier.

[0034] The gain adjustment control circuit 100 receives a gain adjusting voltage (VAGC), and then generates a resistance adjusting signal (Vp) and a current steering control signal (Vctrl). The load circuit 110 adjusts the resistance value of the variable resistor in the load circuit 110 according to the resistance value adjustment signal (Vp). The current steering circuit 120 is connected to the load circuit 110 by a plurality of current paths 115, which can receive the current steering control signa...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an adjustable gain low noise amplifier, especially a high linearity adjustable gain low noise amplifier, which can be used in TV tuners or other broadband communication systems, and can provide low noise at low gain. noise index. Background technique [0002] In a broadband communication system, such as a TV tuner, a high linear variable-gain low noise amplifier must be used and placed in a mixer )Before. In addition, general high linearity adjustable gain low noise amplifiers are generally implemented by using a current steering topology. [0003] Please refer to Figure 1A , which shows a well known high linearity adjustable gain amplifier. It was disclosed in "IEEE J. Solid-State Circuit" journal vol.26, no.11, pp.1673-1680 in 1991. The first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are connected to form a differential pair, wherein the bases of the first transistor Q1 and the second transistor Q2 are differential sign...
