The low-noise, high-gain properties needed for high-performance quantum computing can be realized in a microwave photonic ...

Engineers often perceive RF-low-noise-amplifier design as a difficult task. Obtaining a low-noise figure with high stable gain can be challenging—even intimidating. However, with the recent evolution ...

This article examines key parameters that contribute to amplifier noise. It explains how amplifier design, specifically the choice of bipolar, JFET-input, or CMOS-input design, affects noise. The note ...

It is a crucial component in superconducting quantum architectures, where even minimal noise can overwhelm a qubit's delicate state. In conventional designs, energy losses in dielectric ...

Researchers at RIKEN have demonstrated experimentally that a microwave photonic circuit device known as a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier (JTWPA) can achieve the low-noise, high-gain ...

If you’re planning on working satellites or doing any sort of RF work where the signal lives down in the dirt, you’re going to need a low-noise amplifier. That’s typically not a problem, as the market ...

Quantum computers promise to solve problems far beyond the reach of today’s machines, but building them is incredibly difficult. One of the biggest challenges is simply reading the information stored ...

Piezoceramic (PZT), or "piezo," actuators are known to be excellent position transducers in the nanometer or micrometer range. These actuators are widely used in many precision applications. PZTs, ...

Many amplifiers exhibit an increase in voltage noise spectral density (NSD) as they approach the unity-gain crossover frequency. This noise peaking can cause your circuits to have 39% higher noise ...
