Abstract

The present invention discloses a low-noise amplifier having a characteristic of high linearity for multi-band. Embodiments of the present invention is to provide a low-noise amplifier (LNA), which realizes a balun function and a preamplifier function of mixer in the low-noise amplifier (LNA), and minimizes the factors reducing the linearity between the low-noise amplifier (LNA) and the mixer.
