摘要：

This letter presents a low-noise amplifier (LNA) that was developed for a new radio telescope comprised of 512 parabolic dish antennas. The LNA closely interfaces to a custom-made antenna feed with an impedance co-designed to provide noise matching over a 5:1 bandwidth (BW). Additionally, a method of broadband noise and power matching that allows the input impedance to be controlled independent of the optimum signal-source impedance to achieve minimum noise is also discussed. When measured in a 50- Omega system, the LNA exhibits a return loss (RL) of >8 dB between 0.32 and 1.5 GHz, S21 of 32 +/- 1.2 dB, IP1dB >-37 dBm, and IIP3 >-20 dBm. Noise parameter measurements show T-min approximate to 13 +/- 4 K and noise temperatures T-50 Omega approximate to 18 +/- 6 K between 0.5 and 1.4 GHz.
