A NEUTRON-HARDENED INTERMEDIATE-FREQUENCY AMPLIFIER,

Abstract

An IF amplifier capable of surviving in a neutron environment has been designed and evaluated. The design described uses readily available silicon NPN epitaxial planar transistors throughout. The amplifier includes an automatic gain control and video detector, and results are presented which show it to be capable of good performance after exposure to 5 x 10 to the 14th power neutrons/sq cm (E > 10 keV).
