LNA Design for satellite receiver - 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.

Can anyone tell me how it is possible to build a low noise amplifier with a gain of more than 50 dB and a noise figure less than 1 dB? Most LNB's of a satellite receiver have such good characteristics but most commercial IC's and MMIC's are far away from that.

The overall noise figure is dominated by the first stage in the design. You could cascade several amps and rig up a high gain low noise amp yourself. Only the first stage would have to be low noise, the rest don't have to.
