Ultra Cryogenic Low Noise Amplifiers 

Ultra-low noise amplifiers are necessary for satellite missions where link margins are critical, for example for Deep Space Missions. The use of cryogenically cooled LNAs can provide improved ground station G/T at a fraction of the cost of increasing the antenna diameter.

The refrigerator used to cool the amplifier down to 15Kelvin, is designed for continuous operation with service intervals of more than one year.
