Abstract
Amplifier systems and methods are provided that include a fixed gain amplification stage coupled to an adjustable attenuation stage further coupled to a variable gain amplification stage. A controller controls an amount of attenuation provided by the adjustable attenuation stage and an amount of gain provided by the variable gain amplification stage to maintain any of various noise, efficiency, and/or linearity requirements of the amplifier system.
