I am designing a 2.4 GHz microwave amplifier using an ATF 54143 (LNA, but not including the noise, I still need to learn about this, because doesn't bias design effect the NF also?). Ok, going on to the main question, do I need dc blocking capacitors in my design and or rf chokes: https://imgur.com/a/CH8GT ? wouldnt this lower the noise? one more question, what do you think about my overal design, do you think it would work (my input and output matching networks are correct and I added resistors for my shunt components and shunt 550 ohm resistors at input and output of transistor, because I found my k will be greater than 1 at all frequencies). Would it be better if my shunt resistors were lower in value?
thanks
