A new type of a microwave reflection amplifier with very low noise properties is presented. The proposed amplifier consists of a circulator and a one‐port circuit with the use of a transistor operating under negative resistance conditions. An expression for estimating the noise figure for this type of amplifier is proposed. Experimental results show that such a class of amplifiers that use only one transistor provides a higher transmission gain and a smaller noise figure than a conventional single‐stage amplifier, making it interesting to operate at millimeter‐wave frequencies. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
