- Abstract: We demonstrate a Josephson parametric amplifier design with a band-pass
impedance matching network based on a third-order Chebyshev prototype. We
measured eight amplifiers operating at 4.6 GHz that exhibit gains of 20 dB with
less than 1 dB gain ripple and up to 500 MHz bandwidth. The amplifiers further
achieve high output saturation powers around -73 dBm based on the use of
rf-SQUID arrays as their nonlinear element. We characterize the system readout
efficiency and its signal-to-noise ratio near saturation using a Sycamore
processor, finding the data consistent with near quantum limited noise
performance of the amplifiers. In addition, we measure the amplifiers'
intermodulation distortion in two-tone experiments as a function of input power
and inter-tone detuning, and observe excess distortion at small detuning with a
pronounced dip as a function of signal power, which we interpret in terms of
power-dependent dielectric losses.

We investigate the required peripheral circuits to enable ideal performance for a high-gain travelling-wave parametric amplifier (TWPA) based on three-wave mixing (3WM)
By embedding the TWPA in a network of superconducting diplexers, hybrid couplers and impedance matching networks, the amplifier can deliver a high stable gain with near-quantum-limited noise performance, with suppressed gain ripples.
We demonstrate how the WIF-TWPAs can be used to construct controllable isolators with over 40 dB isolation over the full 4-8 GHz band.
