Abstract: A method for configuring low-noise integrated amplifier circuits having an input stage with a transistor includes noise matching the circuit to the real part of a predetermined output impedance of a transfer element connected upstream of the circuit by a choice of process parameters during the production of the circuit and/or of geometry parameters of the integrated components and/or dimensioning the component values of the circuit, the noise figure of the circuit, dependent on a real generator resistance, is less than a predetermined figure in a range wherein the value of the output impedance real part also lies. The required power matching of the input impedance of the circuit to the output impedance is performed by choosing the effective load on a transistor collector to produce a complex voltage gain that, due to the Miller effect, generates an input impedance equal to the complex conjugate of the predetermined output impedance.

Abstract: The circuit configuration mixes an input signal with an oscillator signal. A phase splitter with one input and two voltage outputs receives the oscillator signal and carries at its outputs orthogonal oscillator signals, which are phase-shifted through 90° with respect to one another. A first differential amplifier has a voltage input connected to one of the two voltage outputs of the phase splitter. A second differential amplifier has a voltage input connected to the other of the two voltage outputs of the phase splitter and one current output. A first current source controlled by the input signal supplies the first differential amplifier. A second current source that is controlled by the input signal supplies the second differential amplifier. A first phase shifter is connected downstream of the first differential amplifier, and a second phase shifter is connected downstream of the second differential amplifier.
