SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS

Abstract

Calculations of the expected performance of the unmatched Bendix circulator, as predicted by Bosma's analysis, were completed. Experimental data was obtained using the proper center conductor that agreed qualitatively with the theory. The qualitative study of idealized input impedance of a parametric amplifier, performed during the early phases of this program, was used to double-tune the balanced C-band parametric amplifier so that the phase shift would be a linear function of frequency. This technique was very successful, providing a 500-Mc instantaneous bandwidth with a gain of about 10 db, a noise figure of 3.55 db, and a relatively flat phase characteristic. The amplifier has been packaged in a standard 19 by 24 inch rack mount, and is completely self-contained.
