PARAMETRIC AMPLIFIERS FOR ELECTRONICALLY STEERABLE RADAR SYSTEMS.
Abstract
Design criteria are presented for the attainment of high-performance, low-cost parametric amplifiers for application to electronically steerable radar systems. A detailed comparison is made between the single-diode and balanced parametric amplifier configurations in order to establish optimum parameter requirements. It is shown that the balanced parametric amplifier offers the greatest potential for achieving the overall requirements of this program. The balanced paramp approach requires a varactor quality factor (M) of 15 to 20 GHz, and a corresponding idler frequency from 11.6 to 14 GHz. (Author)
