Receive LNA
Some various low cost LNA's available on ebay for VHF, UHF and SHF usage.
2GHz Receive LNA

Specification:
Gain: 32dB
supply voltage: 12V DC (Current 35mA) with shielded enclosure
Input Output Impedance: 50 Ohm
Maximum output power: 10dBm(2V PP\50Ohm load)
Input signal: =-22dBM(>-22 dBM creates distortion)
Bandwidth: 1MHz to 2GHz (gain is different under different frequency, please refer to the curve of S21 indicators)
Noise factor: 2dB (0.5 GHz case measurement)
Other: reduce the supply voltage to vary the gain.
Size: approx. 50 x 70 x 12mm (L*W*H)
3GHz Receive LNA
