摘要
We present an impedance engineered Josephson parametric amplifier capable of providing bandwidth beyond the traditional gain-bandwidth product. We achieve this by introducing a positive linear slope in the imaginary component of the input impedance seen by the Josephson oscillator using a lambda/2 transformer. Our theoretical model predicts an extremely flat gain profile with a bandwidth enhancement proportional to the square root of amplitude gain. We experimentally demonstrate a nearly flat 20 dB gain over a 640MHz band, along with a mean 1-dB compression point of -110 dBm and near quantum-limited noise. The results are in a good agreement with our theoretical model. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
