Low-noise circuitry for low-temperature NMR and SQUIDs

Abstract
A method of coupling the low‐temperature induction coil of an NMR or SQUID system to a preamplifier is proposed. This method greatly reduces the Johnson noise generated by line losses. A suitable 9‐K noise‐temperature GaAs FET, liquid nitrogen cooled preamplifier is described. The coupling scheme and preamplifier will yield a spectrometer with a noise temperature near 15 K.
