Bias-tee Low Noise Amplifier (RX)

The BT-200 is a wideband bias-tee RX Low Noise Amplifier that draws its current from the bladeRF 2.0 micro’s SMA connectors. The BT-200 is a compact LNA solution useful for substantially lowering the noise figure and substantially increasing dynamic range of most applications. bladeRF-cli and the libbladeRF API can be used to enable and disable the bias-tee when it is needed.
