Cryogenically-cooled, HEMT amplifiers and receivers in 1-50 GHz range: state-of-the-art

  • Marian W. Pospieszalski (a1)
Abstract

A review of the recent developments in the design, construction and performance of cryogenicallycoolable, high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT, MODFET) amplifiers and their application in compact cryogenic receivers for radio astronomy applications is presented.
