INAF/JPL LNAs will be implemented as a part of the B2+3 WTB (Warm Test
Baseplate)to amplify the signal coming from the OMT: the signal is
expected to be amplified by roughly 40 dB before being delivered to a
downconverter. This is obtained using two cascaded LNAs.
LNAs have been designed to be used in the nominal W band [75 GHz: 110
GHz],originally furnished with a filter peaked around 94 GHz and a square
law detector.
Nevertheless, we want to test the LNAs in the extended B2+3 band between
67 GHz and 116 GHz
