HF-STM – Broadband Cryogenic Buffer Amplifier
The new HF-STM cryogenic amplifier is a device intended for the detection of small currents at DC to high frequencies, which are e.g. created by STM tips (scanning tunneling microscopy).
The input current flows DC-related through a Bias-T and the high-frequency part is buffered and presented at a low impedance output (nom. 50 Ω). The device operating range spans room temperature down to deep cryogenic environments (T = 4.2 K, liquid helium).
