HF Transceiver - Receive Pre-Amplifier Module
"A look At RF Preamplifiers For The G6LBQ Irwell HF Transceiver"
In this blog post I take a look at RF Preamplifiers and build a suitable module for my Irwell HF Transceiver project.
The RF preamplifier is one of the most important stages in a receiver and it has to meet certain criteria in order to cope with the vast range of signals available at its input. A poorly designed RF Preamplifier can destroy a receiver's overall performance so care must be given to the implementation of this stage.
