Abstract

A circuit includes a passive low gain low noise amplifier (LNA) configured to receive a communication signal, an active low gain LNA configured to receive the communication signal, a shared coupling circuit, outputs of the passive low gain LNA and the active low gain LNA coupled to the shared coupling circuit, an output circuit, an output of the shared coupling circuit coupled to the output circuit, and a high gain LNA configured to receive the communication signal, the high gain LNA coupled to the output circuit along a path that bypasses the shared coupling circuit.
