An overall noise temperature of 70 K is required for a three-stage amplifier. The amplifier must have at least 45 dB of total gain. The amplifier will be constructed by adding a low-noise first stage to an existing amplifier with the following characteristics: Stage 2 has a 20-dB power gain and a 3-dB noise figure. The third stage features a 15-dB power gain and a 6-dB noise figure. Determine the first stage's maximum noise figure. Select your answer. 0.565 dBm 1.139 dB 60.565 dBµ 30.565 dB
