Patent abstract
A variable-gain amplifier has distortion characteristics (IIP3) improved when the gain is attenuated without impairing characteristics with respect to a gain PG and a noise figure NF when the gain is maximum. The variable-gain amplifier has a plurality of parallel-connected dual-gate FETs having first FETs (6), (8) having gates for being supplied with an input signal and second FETs (7), (9) connected in cascade to the first FETs (6), (8), respectively. Gate control voltages (Vcon1, Vcon2) can separately be applied to the second FETs (7), (9), respectively, from voltage control means.
