A cascode amplifier comprises: a common-source amplifier includes a first MOST (metal-oxide semiconductor transistor) of a first type configured to receive a first input signal and output a first current to a first node in accordance with a body voltage applied at a body of the first MOST of the first type; a first common-gate amplifier comprising a second MOST of the first type and configured to receive the first current from the first node and output a second current to a second drain node in accordance with a first gate voltage; a dynamic body voltage generator configured to receive the first input signal and output the body voltage; and a load configured to establish a third voltage at a third drain node in response to the second current through a DC (direct current) path between the second drain node and the third drain node.
A cascode amplifier comprises:
A method of signal amplification comprising:
