[Hackrf-dev] LNA / Power Amplifier question.

[Ariel Diaz]

Thank you for your prompt reply. I couldn't find anything about the NF on the hackrf but isn't it close to that figure? Or perhaps too far from it?


Thanks,

AD

Well,

According to the specs it will give you more than 25db in gain. What is not so good (actually pretty bad) is the noise figure with 6db. Good preamps in VHF/UHF should have less than 1db noise added to the signal.

my 2 cents,

Stefan

Hello all,

While looking for a low noise amplifier for receiving, I got mixed up with the model numbers from mini-circuits and ended up getting what I thought it was a good deal on some amplifiers ZHL-1042J+<http://www.minicircuits.com/pdfs/ZHL-1042J.pdf>. Anyways, question would be, will this amplifier provide any gain on the Rx signal(since I already have it in hand) not interested in Tx. Or should I sell this and buy something else. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
