Abstract

An automatic gain control circuit is described, comprising: a resistance control node, a first field-effect transistor, a second field-effect transistor, an inductor, a first resistor, a second resistor, a first capacitor, and a second capacitor. The inductor is connected in series with the field-effect transistors. The first resistor is connected between the gate of the first field-effect transistor and the resistance control node while the second resistor is connected between the gate of the second field-effect transistor and the resistance control node. The first capacitor is connected between the gate and drain of the first field-effect transistor, whereas the second capacitor is connected between the gate and source of the second field-effect transistor.
