Most of you are HF operators; translation: you receive strong signals.
But if you design VHF/UHF/mw preamps, achieving low Noise figure (NF) is
desired. Advanced receiver designers are aware lowest NF does not occur
at low-Z (eg. 50-ohms). Input Z is lowest in NF at Z near 200-ohms

The guy was pedantic. The delta due to changes in mismatch error were in the
noise, no pun intended.
As far as I was concerned, it was a waste of a receiver I would have killed for
in those days. Your tax dollars at work.

Hi Walter,
Elecraft receivers, I'm familar with (K2,K3,KX[23], use "Feedback
Amplifiers" for their Pre Amp. The Feedback Amplifiers are designed for
nominal 50 ohm input impedance. Fifty ohm input impedance is somewhat
import for operation of the receiver bandpass filter.
I'll assume detector
All antenna-facing stages in our receivers are designed for a nominal 50 ohm
input. All of the preamp stages incorporate feedback to ensure a predictable,
constant input impedance.

That’s nice to know. A long time ago I measured the input impedance of a Yaesu
transceiver with a network analyzer. I looked for but couldn’t find my measured
data but I remember it varied from band to band between 25 and 100 ohms, so
within 2:1 VSWR.

Hello Wunder,

Elecraft receivers?
I’m asking because antenna tuners are a frequent question on an SWL group I
follow and I’m pretty sure that they are not needed for most situations. If the

Thanks. I’ll make a wild generalization that transceivers are generally
designed for the receiver portion to be 50 Ω.
Anybody have an idea about SWL receivers?
