A solid state electrometer amplifier is described, using at the input a field-effect-transistor instead of a thermionic electrometer valve. A circuit description and analysis, as well as design considerations and parameters, are also given. The amplifier offers useful applications in radiation dosimetry, with the advantages of reliability, simplified circuitry and space reduction.
