Abstract
The use of a multiplexing system in close proximity to the detectors simplifies the electronics associated with large arrays of Low Temperature Detectors (LTDs). Here, we report the demonstration of an array of Quantum-Point-Contact High-Electron-Mobility-Transistors (QPC-HEMTs) down to 100 mK used to time multiplex the signal from 8 simulated high impedance LTDs ( ∼ 10 M Ω ) to an individual amplifier. Capacitors in parallel with the individual LTDs integrate the signal between measurements so giving a quasi-DC measurement of the LTDs. With the high impedance of the LTD this acts as a filter which counter acts the aliasing of the Johnson noise of the LTD associated with the time-multiplexing technique.
