ABSTRACT:
A multi-stage, variable gain amplifier whose linearity is relatively insensitive to variations in gain control is disclosed. The amplifier includes a primary cascoded pair of transistors for producing a primary output current from an input voltage as a function of a primary cascode control voltage. The amplifier further includes one or more secondary cascoded pairs of transistors coupled to the primary cascoded pair of transistors for producing one or more secondary output currents from the input voltage as a function of one or more secondary cascode control voltages. The output current of the RF circuit is a sum of the primary output current and the one or more secondary output currents
