Below the comparison table, the following procedure has been followed:
The use of a transformer scores negative on complexity, but positive on power efficiency and/or noise performance.
Impedances in series or in parallel with the signal path may be detrimental to the noise performance and/or to the power efficiency. This is particularly the case with resistors.
ESD protection devices in parallel with the input increase the distortion in case of voltage type inputs (AB configurations).
A current type input causes the antenna impedance to be part of the transfer characteristic. With an antenna length of 0.5m, this effect can easily be compensated for using an integrating transimpedance amplifier.
