Abstract
The principles of parametric amplification are discussed. Amplifiers are distinguished from one another in terms of the allowed frequencies and of basic circuit connections. The small-signal and noise properties of varactor diodes are outlined and their effect on amplifier performance is demonstrated. The performance of practical amplifiers, including cooled amplifiers, is compared with that of other types of microwave amplifier.
