All amplifiers amplify signal and noise, plus distort everything in the process. (fundamental laws of the universe: 1) You can't get something for nothing, 2) You can't break even, 3) You'll die trying) Ideally, you want the amplifier at the antenna and you want the amplification to match the cable loss and no more.
