This disclosure is generally directed to linearization circuitry of a multi-stage amplifier of wireless transmission circuitry. The amplifier may include multiple amplifier stages. The amplifier stages are cascaded such that an output signal of an amplifier stage may be input by a subsequent amplifier stage. Moreover, the amplifier stages are stacked such that the amplifier stages share (e.g., serially receive) a bias signal (e.g., a single bias signal). The linearization circuitry may include at least one operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) and at least one gain correction circuit to reduce a voltage and/or current of undesired signals that may be present based on non-linear behaviors of one or more of the amplifier stages.
