This White Paper describes different trade-offs, design options, and implementation of a sub 1 dB low NF (~ 0.6 dB), high gain (> 20 dB), and very high linearity (> +34 dBm) two-stage LNA.
The SKY65040-360LF LNA maintains a very low NF up to 2.5 GHz and an excellent 3rd Order Output Intercept Point (OIP3). The...
