Passive low noise amplifier achieves linear signal amplification and complete noise cancellation for high performance integrated circuit applications
- Technology Benefits
- Avoids the noise distortion and nonlinearity that arise from active amplifiersUltimately limited only by the quality of the available passives and practical implementations Completely cancels the noise (and distortion) of the non-linear device in questionVoltage gain (rather than power gain) is achieved through a fully passive gain network Patent information:Patent Pending (WO/2011/038414)Tech Ventures Reference: IR CU14031
- Detailed Technology Description
- Receivers for wireless data transmission (e.g. GPS, Bluetooth, ISM Radios, Wireless LAN, etc.) Ultra-low voltage operation LNA circuits suitable for future nanosc...
