ABSTRACT:
A variable gain amplifier includes a first transistor including a base, and an emitter, and a collector. A first parallel feedback device connected to the collector and the base of the first transistor provides an inductive impedance. A second parallel feedback device connected to the collector and the base of the first transistor provides a variable resistive impedance and includes a monolithically integrated p-i-n diode having a quiescent bias current flowing therethrough. The gain response of the first transistor is related to the variable resistive impedance of the second parallel feedback device.
