17. A method of processing signals, the method comprising:
-
performing, at a low noise amplifier, a low noise amplification operation on a signal to generate an input signal; amplifying the input signal at a first differential amplifier to produce a first amplified signal that is provided to an inverting input of a second differential amplifier; amplifying the input signal at a single-ended amplifier to produce a flicker noise canceling signal that is provided to a non-inverting input of the second differential amplifier, wherein the single-ended amplifier receives the input signal at an input coupled to a first input of the first differential amplifier; and amplifying the first amplified signal and the flicker noise canceling signal at the second differential amplifier to produce an output signal. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
