The amplifier could be a single LNA component, similar to the design in HackRF One. Ideally the part should be able to withstand a maximum input power of 20 dBm, though we may be able to limit input power somewhat lower than that (see #8).
We'll likely want to test candidate components to measure performance on our stack-up over our wide range of operating frequencies.
Additionally we need a bypass path and an attenuator path. The attenuator must provide 20 dB attenuation, though the precise requirement may be updated later.
