There is a paper from the univ of Twente in NL that
seems to indicate that it takes some time in an open
FET until the traps in the channel build up, so switching
the FET off in a regular way might be an advantage.
I stumbled across it when I was seeking input for my
ultra-low-noise chopper amplifiers.

dropped my subscription. In this letter, a novel 1/f noise mitigation

The paper in question is: "A Novel 1/f Noise Mitigation Technique
Applied to a 670 GHz Receiver", by Ogut et al.
https://doi.org/10.1109/TTHZ.2020.3036179 The description is extremely
vague, but I think what they are doing is modulating the gain of the
first LNA stage in an amplifier chain to get information on the total
gain of the chain and correct for it. Which would make it basically a
fancy chopper-amplifier that operates on the gain instead of the
offset voltage. Attila Kinali
"I have some vague idea that I could place behind the IEEE wall of shame.
I won't work on it in the foreseeable future, but it may give me precedence
if it turns out to be usable and I can count it as a publication, even
if no one
will read it."
cheers, Gerhard
