Abstract :
The gain of the resonant-circuit dielectric amplifier can be obtained directly from the slope of a characteristic which is called the tuning curve. When the carrier voltage across the nonlinear capacitor is small, the shape of the tuning curve can be computed by linear circuit analysis. This paper considers the shape of the tuning curve when the carrier voltage across the nonlinear capacitor is so large that nonlinear resonance is encountered.
