| High IP3 VHF LNA - RF Cafe Forums | ||||||
|
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts.

The data should be around: Gain 15dB NF: <2dB OIP3 >30dBm This is not an easy task. (Perhaps it was easier 30 years ago, when VHF were a "popular" frequency?) The pHEMTs are great, but have too much gain at VHF frequencies. Do anyone know if there exist any chips designed for VHF/UHF, rather than 6GHz - that has good NF and high OIP3? The most likely solution for me is perhaps to try to make some kind of transformer feedback configuration in order too meet my demands. Yet I wonder if that is easier said than done!

It has >>+30 IP3, so maybe a pad on the output to get rid of some gain. Update: Looking at the spec sheet, it looks pretty bad at VHF. Gain is way too high and OIP3 falls off.
