We utilize a superconducting stripline resonator containing a dc-SQUID as a strong intermodulation amplifier exhibiting a signal gain of 25 dB and a phase modulation of 30 dB. Studying the system response in the time domain near the intermodulation amplification threshold reveals a unique noise-induced spikes behavior. We account for this response qualitatively via solving numerically the equations of motion for the integrated system. Furthermore, employing this device as a parametric amplifier yields a gain of 38 dB in the generated side-band signal.
