Why is input impedance important for LNAs?

Input impedance is important for LNAs for several reasons:

It affects the signal-to-noise ratio. A low input impedance can reduce the SNR of the amplifier by loading down the source.
It affects the bandwidth of the amplifier. A high input impedance can cause reflections of signals, which can distort the signal and reduce the amplifier's bandwidth.
It affects the stability of the amplifier. A high input impedance can make the amplifier more susceptible to oscillation.
