摘要
A new type of a microwave reflection amplifier with very low noise properties is presented. The proposed amplifier consists of a circulator and a one-port circuit with the use of a transistor operating under negative resistance conditions. An expression for estimating the noise figure for this type of amplifier is proposed. Experimental results show that such a class of amplifiers that use only one transistor provides a higher transmission gain and a smaller noise figure than a conventional single-stage amplifier, making it interesting to operate at milli-meter-wave frequencies.
