The exemplary embodiments are related to systems and methods for a mode balanced parametric amplifier. Exemplary embodiments relate to a balanced parametric circuit including a first resonant structure including a first plurality of varactor diodes and a second resonant structure including a second plurality of varactor diodes. The first and second resonant structures are coupled to form a coupled structure having at least two orthogonal resonant modes, where a first resonant mode is resonant at a first frequency of an input signal and a second resonant mode is resonant at a second frequency of a pump signal. Further, the pump signal is used to one of amplify the first signal at the first frequency or mix and amplify the first signal to a frequency higher than the first frequency. |
