Abstract

Abstract:

In view of the limitation of the traditional microwave noise source in providing low brightness temperature noise, a new type of microwave cold noise source device is introduced. Based on the “ColFET” principle, the 2-port microwave network with output-port terminated noise temperature model is given. A design procedure of the active cold noise source (ACNS) is described, and an L-band ACNS using the GaAs high electron mobility transistor is reported. A noise injection radiometer has been developed to perform the measurements. The L-band ACNS works at 302K, and exhibits a noise temperature of less than 85.3K in the 1400～1430MHz frequency band. Test results show that the ACNS can be used as a microwave radiometer calibration cold source.

Key words: active cold noise source, radiometers, calibration, remote sensing, high electron mobility transistor
