| 英文摘要 | This paper presents two cryogenic low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) based on the WIN's 0.18 mu m gate length gallium arsenide (GaAs) pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process designed for radio telescope receivers. Discrete transistors with gate peripheries spanning 50-600 mu m were DC-characterized at 290 K and 15 K, respectively. The LNAs underwent on-chip noise characterization under 15 K using a Y-factor measurement setup, which integrated a calibrated noise source and a noise figure analyzer. This approach directly quantified the noise temperature-critical metrics for radio telescope receiver front-ends. The top-performing LNA variant identified through on-chip characterization was packaged and evaluated in a cryogenic test-bed. This LNA, spanning a bandwidth of 0.3-15 GHz, demonstrated a gain of 26 dB and a minimum noise temperature of 6 K when operated at an ambient temperature of 15 K. In contrast, a second LNA architecture, tested solely on-chip, demonstrated a gain of 30 dB and a minimum noise temperature of 15 K across the 0.3-7 GHz range. |
