1. An apparatus comprising:
- an amplifier;
a first inductor coupled to an input of the amplifier;
a second inductor that is inductively coupled to the first inductor and that couples the amplifier to a first supply node; and
a third inductor that is inductively coupled to the first inductor and to the second inductor and that couples the amplifier to a second supply node.

Abstract
An apparatus includes an amplifier and a first inductor coupled to an input of the amplifier. The apparatus also includes a second inductor that is inductively coupled to the first inductor and that couples the amplifier to a first supply node. The apparatus further includes a third inductor that is inductively coupled to the first inductor and to the second inductor and that couples the amplifier to a second supply node.

16. A method of signal amplification, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first signal at an input of an amplifier, the input coupled to a first inductor; and amplifying the first signal at the amplifier to provide an amplified output signal, the amplifier coupled to a first supply node by a second inductor that is inductively coupled to the first inductor and the amplifier coupled to a second supply node by a third inductor that is inductively coupled to the first inductor. - View Dependent Claims (17)
