Ferroelectric microwave parametric amplifiers
Abstract
The characteristics of ferroelectric microwave parametric amplifiers are reviewed. Particular consideration is given to higher-order nonlinear effects associated with regeneration processes. Finally, the designs of several types of amplifiers are discussed including a low-noise amplifier based on a ferroelectric-film capacitor, an amplifier based on a nonlinear dielectric resonator, and an amplifier with an active element, distributed at the pump frequency and lumped at the signal frequency.
