A cascode amplifier circuit includes a first transistor connected in a common-source configuration, and a second transistor connected in a common-gate configuration. The first transistor includes a gate for receiving a radio frequency (RF) input signal. The second transistor includes a first source/drain for delivering an RF output signal of the cascode amplifier circuit, a second source/drain connected to a first source/drain of the first transistor, and a gate for receiving a portion of the RF input signal.
