That has plenty of gain, and in fact would need an attenuator around 24 dB
if the typical gain is realized. It would also be running it a few dB below
the 1 dB compression point. But someone (perhaps even yourself) mentioned
phase noise increases as you get near the 1 dB compression point. That
amplifier does not have a great deal of headroom - just 3 dB.
Not to mention that attenuating the input by 24dB and then amplifying
by 36dB is a noisy way to get 12dB of gain. That's a hit you really
don't want to take.
Best regards,
