Low noise amplifiers (LNAs) are disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, an LNA includes an input balun configured to convert a single-ended radio frequency (RF) receive signal to a differential RF receive signal, an amplifier chain configured to amplify the differential RF receive signal to generate a differential amplified RF receive signal, and an output balun configured to convert the differential amplified RF receive signal into a single-ended amplified RF receive signal. The LNA's amplifier chain is operable in multiple gain modes, and includes a first differential amplification stage, a second differential amplification stage, and a third differential amplification stage.
