In Search of a 2.4GHz Preamp - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I'm looking for a 2.4GHz IC preamp with an Nf in the neighborhood of 0.5 and gain somewhere between 20 to 30 db.

Thanks. That should do the job. If anyone knows of any other LNAs with gain closer to the 30db mark, please let me know.

Sirenza Microdevices has another 2 models of LNA with similar parameters. Take a look in their website and see if you can find additional devices.

Good luck!
