Abstract: Circuits and methods for a radio frequency amplifier, such as an LNA, that include a wideband coupled input impedance matching network. One embodiment includes a first inductor coupled between a first terminal and a first node, the first terminal couplable to a degeneration terminal of an amplifier core; a second inductor coupled between a second terminal and either the first node or a second node, the second terminal couplable to an input terminal of the amplifier core; a third inductor coupled between the first node and a third terminal, the third terminal couplable to a reference potential; and, in a variant embodiment, a fourth inductor coupled between the second node and a fourth terminal, the fourth terminal couplable to the reference potential; wherein the first inductor and the second inductor are mutually coupled. Some embodiments allow multiple modes to allow tradeoffs of gain versus linearity and NF characteristics.
