ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for enabling a transmitter to have a substantially linear magnitude response and a substantially linear phase response. The transmitter includes first and second programmable gain amplifiers (PGAs). The first PGA is tuned to have a resonant frequency that is less than an operating frequency of the first PGA. The second PGA is tuned to have a resonant frequency that is greater than an operating frequency of the second PGA. A magnitude response at an output of the first PGA and a magnitude response at an output of the second PGA combine to provide a substantially linear magnitude response across a frequency range that includes the operating frequency of the first or second PGA. According to an embodiment, the first and second PGAs have the same operating frequency.
