Abstract
In this paper, we propose a 4-port edge-fed rectangular microstripline antenna that is integrated with a 4-FET dual-fed distributed amplifier. The 4-port antenna is directly connected to the FETs and has the additional roles of power combining, harmonic suppression and FET biasing. This approach eliminates transmission lines and other elements that would otherwise be needed to realize the amplifier and connect it to an antenna, thereby saving circuit area and minimizing losses.
