  • Patent number: 7495514
    Abstract: A low noise amplifier including a first-stage signal amplifier, a second-stage signal amplifier and a gain control unit is disclosed. The first-stage signal amplifier is for receiving an input signal and outputting a first output signal accordingly. The second-stage signal amplifier is coupled to the first-stage signal amplifier for outputting a second output signal according to the first output signal. The second-stage signal amplifier includes a first output transistor for outputting the second output signal. The gain control unit includes a first variable resistance device coupled to an input terminal of the first output transistor for adjusting voltage gain of the second output signal.
