The performance of broadband, Low-Noise, Low DC consumption cryogenic amplifiers was studied in detail with emphasis to minimize the power consumption and optimize the amplifier performance at cryogenic temperature. A general approach used in the modeling and amplifier design can help to minimize the power consumption and optimize the performance of the amplifier. A noise temperature below 6K and 25 dB gain was experimentally obtained in the frequency range 4-8 GHz with total power consumption of 4 mW with commercial GaAs transistor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
