This paper presents a programmable gain amplifier for dual band (GSM900/DCS1800) low-IF receiver. It is a negative feedback approach to achieve high linearity requirement. In addition to the amplifier, anti-alias filtering and dc offset removal are included for the following IF signal processing. A dual-bandwidth algorithm is developed to speed up the settling time on DC removal. A modified Sallen-Key filter helps on providing better than 40dB anti-aliasing and blocker attenuation near the
