Abstract
We present a thermometer based on the electrical noise from a tunnel junction. In this thermometer, temperature is related to voltage across the junction by a relative microwave noise measurement with only the use of the electron charge, Boltzmann´s constant, and assumption that electrons in a metal obey Fermi-Dirac statistics (Lafe Spietz, 2003)
