--- Quote from: Silente on January 20, 2020, 09:26:54 pm ---The specifications I want to respect are:
1. power of the incident radiation, when there is a signal of -30 dBm,
2. diode responsiveness = 0.8 A / W,
3. peak output voltage of at least 5 mV,
4. 50 Ohm output impedance,
5. input impedance < 50 Ohm,
6. band > 100 MHz.

you need to specify the photodiode size, which goes hand in hand with the photodiode capacitance, to fully specify the problem.
For 100 MHz you need small-ish photodiodes, maybe 1mm diameter or smaller, with capacitance 10 pF or lower.
like these maybe https://www.hamamatsu.com/resources/pdf/ssd/s5971_etc_kpin1025e.pdf
Silente:
Thank you to all.
I'll try to refine the schematic after your tips, and I will show calculations and simulations that I will do.
I'm downloading LTSpice.

Thank you again for now.
Marco:
Personally for a toy circuit like this I wouldn't use LTSpice ... can't stand the interface. Simetrix comparatively easier to work with for me and the free version is powerful enough for this.

That's technically off topic, but since OP may run into the same gotcha:
The parameters that show up in "pick new transistor" are only informative and don't affect simulation. Many 3rd party models omit them, but they still work.
