The 3 dB bandwidth of a low‐noise amplifier (LNA) is increased by 23% from a range of 1–6.7 GHz to a range of 1–8.25 GHz through digital assist. The LNA has a multi‐stage topology and the gate bias voltages are dynamically optimised in real‐time to obtain the best gain and noise figure as a function of the signal input frequency.
