Question

  A low noise 3  stage cascaded power amplifier is to be used in a typical low noise communication receiver.   The specifications of the three stages are given below:

Amplifier -1 :   Gain G1 =31 dB  ; Bandwidth = 1.5 kHz  ; 

Total output Noise Power = - 138 dBW

Amplifier -2  :   Gain G2 = 20 dB  ;  Equivalent Noise Temperature Te2  = 484 deg K

Amplifier -3 :   Gain G3 = 13 dB  ;  Noise Ratio  F3 = 2.1

Assume that all amplifiers are kept at the  same reference  temperature = 27 deg C.

Calculate 

(i)  Noise ratio (F1) for Amplifier -1

(ii) Noise ratio (F2) for Amplifier -2
