Of course, the embodiments described herein are only a part, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] <Example 1> As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the radio frequency low noise amplifier circuit 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a signal input terminal 1, an input matching circuit 2, an amplifier circuit 3, an output matching circuit 4, a gain adjustment circuit 5, and a signal output terminal 6, which are connected in order.
[0022] Signal input 1 is used to connect a single-ended input signal, The input matching circuit 2 has one end connected to the signal input terminal 1 and is used to match and output the input signal. The input matching circuit 2 performs matching processing on the received input signal to obtain a matching signal, and transmits the matching signal to one end of the amplifier circuit 3.
[0023] The amplifier circuit 3 has one end connected in series with the other end of the input matching circuit 2 and is used to amplify the input signal. The gain of the chip is increased by amplifying the matching signal output by the input matching circuit 2.
[0024] The output matching circuit 4 has one end connected to the other end of the amplifier circuit 3 and is used to output the amplified signal output by the amplifier circuit 3.
[0025] One end of the gain adjustment circuit 5 is connected to the other end of the amplifier circuit 3 and is used to perform gain attenuation adjustment on the amplified signal, and the other end of the gain adjustment circuit 5 is grounded. By connecting to the other end of the amplifier circuit 3, the output amplified signal is attenuated and the gain is reduced, which can facilitate adjustment of the gain size of the chip.
[0026] The signal output terminal 6 is connected to the other terminal of the output matching circuit 4 and is used to output a signal.

By connecting the gates of the tenth transistor M10, the eleventh transistor M11, and the twelfth transistor M12 to the digital control logic circuit, the conduction or blocking of the tenth transistor M10, the eleventh transistor M11, and the twelfth transistor M12 can be effectively controlled, and the gain size can be further controlled, and the control effect is good.

The amplification is controlled by the fourth transistor M4, the fifth transistor M5, and the sixth transistor M6 connected to the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, and the third transistor M3, respectively. The more conductive branch circuits there are, the larger the total current of the amplifier and the higher the gain.
[0033] Preferably, the above-mentioned conductive branch circuit can be not only a three-branch circuit, but also a single-branch circuit, a two-branch circuit, a four-branch circuit, etc. The more the branch circuits, the larger the total current of the amplifier and the higher the gain.

[0039] Specifically, the amplified signal is transmitted to the first end of the first inductor Ld and the first capacitor C1 through the seventh transistor M7, and the first inductor Ld and the first capacitor C1 are connected in parallel, so that the resonance of the first inductor Ld and the first capacitor C1 is within the operating frequency band, and can play a role in frequency selection. The second capacitor C2 is used to block the output DC signal, achieving a DC blocking effect.
[0040] In this embodiment, the input matching circuit 2 includes a first input matching network 21 and a second input matching network 22, an input end of the first input matching network 21 is connected to the signal input end 1, an output end of the first input matching network 21 is connected to the gate of the first transistor M1, an output end of the second input matching network 22 is grounded, and an input end of the second input matching network 22 is connected to the source of the first transistor M1.

At the same time, the second inductor Lg and the third capacitor at the gate of the first transistor M1 are connected in series, so that the first input matching network 21 resonates at the operating frequency point and realizes low-noise input matching of the amplifier.

When at a high gain level, the eighth transistor M8 is turned on, the ninth transistor M9 is turned off, and only the fourth inductor Ls0 works. When at a low gain level, the eighth transistor M8 is turned off, and the ninth transistor M9 is turned on, and the source total inductance is the total inductance value of the fourth inductor Ls0 and the third inductor Ls1 connected in series, which not only achieves the effect of reducing the gain, but also compensates for the reduction in the real part of the input impedance caused by the reduction in the mutual conductance of the transistors in the low gain level state, and the purpose that it can have a relatively good input return loss performance even at a low gain level is achieved. The gain level is flexible and adjustable, and at the same time, it meets the requirements of no deterioration of input and output return loss at each gain level and high safety.
