ABSTRACT:
A shunt-feedback technique is provided for improving noise figure and linearity of electronic circuits, such as amplifiers and mixers. An input common-emitter transconductance stage of an electronic circuit has a transistor, and a degeneration impedance provided between the emitter of the transistor and a ground terminal. A feedback capacitor is connected between the collector and the base of the transistor. A feedback resistor is coupled between the collector of the transconductance stage transistor and the emitter of a transistor in the next stage of the electronic circuit. The feedback capacitor and the feedback resistor form a shunt-feedback network.
