Abstract :
Thermoelectrically cooled 4 GHz band FET amplifier with noise temperature of 55K has been developed for low noise amplifier of satellite communications earth stations. In this amplifier with the FET which was developed in our company, the new design method of broadband noise matching is applied. The difference between maximum and minimum noise temperature within the frequency band of this amplifier is 3K and is coincident with theoretical value.
