Summary :

A linear-in-dB VGA of the current-divider type is fabricated in 0.25 µm CMOS technology. Two gain compensation techniques are proposed in order to compensate the gain deviations due to a MOSFET which has a square-law characteristic or an exponential-law characteristic determined by its current density. Temperature compensation techniques are also proposed. Measure results obtained at 380 MHz are a gain range of 80 dB, a gain error of 3 dB, and an NF of 11 dB.
