The radiation of a charged particle moving in a dispersive medium with two resonance frequencies is theoretically studied. It is shown that such a medium can amplify the generated electromagnetic waves, provided that the low-frequency resonance is active, the high-frequency resonance is passive, and the particle velocity is within a certain interval. A method of calculation of the amplification effect is described and a particular example is presented.
