US Patent Issued to Analog Devices on June 3 for "Low noise amplifier topology" (Colorado Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 4 -- United States Patent no. 12,323,108, issued on June 3, was assigned to Analog Devices Inc. (Wilmington, Mass.).

"Low noise amplifier topology" was invented by Xudong Wang (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and William B. Beckwith (Palmer Lake, Colo.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A low noise amplifier topology can achieve very low noise figure by applying multiple magnetic coupling between gate matching inductors and source degeneration inductor of a field effect transistor. The resulting low noise amplifier has smaller inductors, which can have lower thermal noise contribution, and can maintain good gain and linearity performance. For example, a low noise amplifier includes...
