  • Patent number: 8872586
    Abstract: An amplifier with gain boosting is disclosed according to an aspect of the subject technology. The gain boosting may be used to improve the noise figure of the amplifier, and may be achieved by feeding an input signal to the gates of multiple transistors in the amplifier, where each transistor provides a current gain contributing to the total current gain of the amplifier. The amplifier may also include an output driver stage for increasing the driving capability of the amplifier. The amplifier may also include a feedback resistor and an input resistor to obtain a gain with high linearity.
