Abstract
The use of GaAs in front-end electronics for radiation detection syste ms has been widely investigated by many authors and several prototypes of GaAs front-ends have been proposed. This work is a review and deep ening of the criteria for the design of a low noise and low-power GaAs front-end. Remarks on the choice of the optimum bins point and gate w idth of the input transistor and on the choice of the shaping an discu ssed. A comparison of several GaAs FETs in terms of low-frequency nois e and achievable resolution is also shown. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B .V. All rights reserved.
