The Characteristics of parametric amplifiers, including effective input noise temperature, bandwidth, stability, and gain compression are discussed. Two specific amplifiers, a liquid nitrogen cooled Gband unit for a radio astronomy observatory, and a threechannel unit for a satellite vernier auto track system, are described, and the characteristics of these ampmers are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
