Discrete-time parametric amplification based on a three-terminal MOS varactor analysis and experimental results.

Discrete-time parametric amplification based on a three-terminal MOS varactor analysis and experimental results.

This paper discusses discrete-time parametric amplification based on large-signal operation of a three-terminal MOS varactor. The principle of operation is described in detail and analytical estimates of performance are derived. Detailed measurements are reported for a prototype implemented in stand...
