Hi all,
I have designed a LNA and a PIN attenuator separately. But when I made them in the same PCBoard, A problem appearred.In some frequency range, S11>0.
1) LNA:maybe its S11 is not good, seems below -4dB from 950MHz to 2150MHz, the best is -7dB. its S22 is below -5dB, in some frequency range it can reach -12dB.
2) PIN attenuator: When this attenuator work in large attenuation mode, its S11 is bad.
3) When LNA is connected with PIN attenuator, S11>0.
I think it probably oscillates, so I series a resistor to transistor's collector, but it cut no ice. and I have try some other methods, the results can't satisfied. so I need your help!
Thanks a lot!
