  • Abstract
    This paper discusses low noise room temperature LNAs with application in the SKA-mid frequency range between 400 MHz and 1500 MHz, using recently obtained measured noise temperatures close to 20 K. It also presents and compares results for measured minimum transistor noise temperatures at room temperature, with values below 10 K.
