Enabling the three-wave mixing process in Josephson Travelling Wave Parametric Amplifiers (JTWPAs) requires inversion symmetry breaking of an effective potential. This task can be achieved in various ways by exploiting either flux- or phase-bias regimes. Moreover, common JTWPA coupling schemes additionally introduces two distinct possibilities of flux or phase pumping. As the result, we identify four interrelated bias and pump schemes, which we theoretically and experimentally analyze in our samples based on Superconducting Nonlinear Asymmetric Inductive Elements (SNAILs). We show that the nonlinear behavior of such a JTWPA strongly depends on the chosen bias-pumping scheme, unraveling novel experimental control schemes for optimal JTWPA performance.
