  Using a simple lumped-circuit model, we numerically study the dependence of
the voltage gain and noise on the amplifier's parameters. Linear, quasi-linear,
and nonlinear regimes are studied. We have shown that the voltage gain of the
amplifier cannot exceed a characteristic critical value, which decreases with
the increase of the input power. We have also shown that the spectrum of the
voltage gain depends significantly on the level of the Johnson noise generated
by the SQUID resistors.
