Good LNA choice - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi everybody!!

I am looking for a good LNA ( low NF, high IP3...) for VHF and UHF receiver design.Anybody has experience or knows a good one?

Is possible to improve the input return loss of LNA with external component structure?

If you have to choose for a new design double conversion receiver or direct conversion receiver which one you perform?

Thanx

Hi,

I have had good luck with Avago MGA-62563. It has .9dB NF, 33dBm OIP3, 22dB gain at 500 MHz. It also has current adjustment (via resistor value) to optimize for desired performance.

Good luck!!

Try the Amplifier search on http://www.everythingrf.com
Just enter the specs and click on search. It searches components from over 100 manufacturers.
You can specify the NF and Gain.
