  • Abstract
    It is proposed that the moving domain in a Gunn-effect sample can be regarded as a pumped capacitor and that this can be used to form a single d.c.-pumped parametric amplifier. The idling current can be supported in the resonance provided by the encapsulation. The figure of merit is calculated.
