A description of the various factors affecting the overall radiation sensitivity of linear microwave amplifiers is given and is followed by experimental results of ground radiation testing on a L-band and a S-band preamplifier. Calculations based in the expected radiation dose levels in space show that neglecting the effects of radiation in amplifier design could lead to mission lives in the order of weeks instead of years.
