Abstract :
Active integrated antennas, in which solid-state devices and antennas are integrated together on a single substrate, offer significant advantages in performance, size and cost for microwave wireless systems. Recent developments include elements for integrated transmitters, heterodyne receivers, transceivers and transponders operating at frequencies from UHF through millimeter-wave. These elements can be used alone or in phased arrays for wireless communication, identification and sensing
