DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-POWER, LOW-NOISE PHOTOTUBE AMPLIFIER,

Abstract

This report describes the development of a lowpower phototube amplifier having either analog or frequency modulated carrier output. Test results indicate the amplifier with either type output has the capability of detecting 1.25 x 10 to the minus 18 power w in the passband from 0.01 to 5 cps. The amplifier with analog output has a voltage gain of 350K, a total power requirement of 1.56 w, and a dynamic range of 60 db. The amplifier with frequency modulated carrier output has a power requirement of 1.8 w and when combined with an FM discriminator has a gain of approximately 700K and a dynamic range of 70 db.
