A N I T A. RF front end P. Gorham UH. highpass. In band, ~0.3dB over most of band, 3db at 180MHz, <-60dB 110MHz. lowpass. New spec, best of the lot at -60dB 1610 MHz (Iridium). Component sequence. Antenna --> low loss cable (LMR400 or Heliax), ~1m: expect <30K from cable & connectors

highpass • In band, ~0.3dB over most of band, 3db at 180MHz, <-60dB 110MHz
lowpass • New spec, best of the lot at -60dB 1610 MHz (Iridium)
Component sequence • Antenna --> low loss cable (LMR400 or Heliax), ~1m: • expect <30K from cable & connectors • Into noise diode -20dB coupler, ==> -0.3dB? ==> • ~30K, incl connectors • Bandpass filters: • -0.3 - -0.8 dB ==> 50K • Coupler thru SMA & minibend into LNA. LNA ==> • ~80-100K, incl. Connectors • Design requirement is therefore 200K, goal 150K.
