Atention!
Do NOT mix BFG135a produced by Infineon (former Siemens),
with BFG135 produced by Philips! They are different types of transistors and they have different IMD!
In these preamplifiers use only BFG135a by Infineon!

"Three Strong 6m Stations" Working Test
In order to check how amplifiers will behave in DX work and contests I conducted some simulations. BFG135a amplifier was fed with three strong signals ("three strong stations on 6m band") 7.1 mV (-30dBm) each, at its input. Output spectrum given below, showing what would be heard with ideal, linear receiver (no receiver IMD!) under such conditions, and very obvious IMD superiority of BFG135a preamplifier.
