Abstract :
Several recent papers have used the analogy between an electron beam and a transmission line to discuss beam noise and the minimum noise figure of amplifiers. Despite their basic similarity the treatments given differ so much that it has seemed worthwhile to attempt to review the field and relate the different approaches.
