  • Abstract
    Pump noise transfer in paramps is related to the sensitivity of amplifier gain to AM and FM pump modulation. Measurements performed on an S-band paramp with an 18.4-GHz pump are described. The significance of the results is made explicit by using them to calculate the increase in amplifier noise temperature associated with an IMPATT oscillator pump.
