Abstract

As an important part of the Radio Front(RF)signal analyzer, the RF receiver front-end plays a decisive role in the measurement of the RF signal. This paper builds one kind of 860~960 MHz RF receiver front-end system simulation platform of RF signal analyzer using the Advanced Design System(ADS)software. The pre-LNA is used to reduce system noise, and AGC is used to achieve a large dynamic range of the RF receiver front-end in the design. The gain, noise figure, sensitivity, dynamic range and other indicators of RF front-end of the design are calculated, and simulated by the software simulation tools. The simulations show that the RF front-end designed in the paper meets the requirements of the design.
