Hi,
Yes, Stefan told me about the preamp on the Funcube -
that's why I
made the measurements. I guess, this means, that the OsmoSDR will get
one as well...
Size is a problem tough...
You could use a SPF5043Z made by RFMD. It is a tiny MMIC in a SOT343
package.
With a proper PCB layout of the power plane it should be very easy to
integrate it in the OsmoSDR PCB.
PS.: I really would like to see/do some tests on the influence of the
inductively of the header pins (including jumper) within the signal
path.
