| | LNA and filters - 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.

Posts: 6 | In the receiver chain which should come first? LNA or BPF. In most of the schematics, I see BPF coming first. I have a wide band LNA. Can i use it at the beginning of the filter chain(because I need high sensitivity)? What will be the problems in this?

Posts: 6 | Hi veerasamy,
The BPF is usually placed before the LNA stage to protect it from out-of-band interference. In this case the total noise figure is increased by a quantity equal to the insertion loss of the filter itself.
Strong out-of-band interferer can generate high intermodulation products depending from the IP3 of your LNA. Very strong interferer can also cause distortion, if they are close or higher than P1dB.
Regards,
Alberto

Posts: 4 | Hi veera,
Mostly you will not be using a bpf if your antenna is narrowband and you use
an impedance matching circuit. But the rejection of unwanted signals is always
important consideration before an LNA for good performance otherwise more
power will appear @ input of lna which will affect its linearity!!!

Posts: 1 | hello
we want to design a receiver in 2.4Ghz with advanced design system software,& we don't know how to find the moduls of LNA & mixer & band pass filter & LPF & amplifier & oscillator &...
help us please..

Posts: 4 | I have used models of various components while designing the wideband frontend for SDR.
I remember that the Avago technologies provides the model for their LNA.
Johansons dielectric also provides models for their passives. |
