摘要

This work presents a novel low-noise amplifier design methodology that addresses the trade-off between gain and noise figure, aiming to improve signal quality in compressed spectrum sensing applications. Using the Agilent ATF-34143 transistor, we developed a mathematical framework to optimize source and load reflection coefficients based on constant noise and gain circles. The design achieves a reduction in global noise figure from 8 to 0.76 dB when cascaded with a USRP B210 SDR, and a global gain of 57.14 dB. Experimental validation demonstrates a 5 \(\times\) sensitivity improvement over a standalone SDR setup. This approach supports enhanced spectrum recovery in low-SNR scenarios and is directly applicable to software-defined radio platforms used in communication laboratories.
