Parametric amplifiers for high sensitivity receivers sensitivity receivers

Abstract: 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.

“…Parametric amplifiers yield noise temperatures around 150 o:K up to 40 GHz and about half this with cooling. Cooling has been provided by liquid nitrogen [Uenohara et al, 1963;Uenohara and Elward, 1964] and by closed-cycle refrigeration [Rucker, Morrow, and Grimes, 1965]. Feri-imagnetic tuning of parametric amplifiers was demonstrated by Kotzebue [1965j.…”

“…Early interest focused on telecommunications [13][14][15] and radio astronomy [16,17]. However, despite efforts to increase operating frequencies and bandwidth, the parametric amplifier was displaced by the travelling wave tube.…”
