Abstract :
We consider an inverted stripline active antenna configuration for system applications. Solid-state devices can be directly integrated with the antenna to perform various functions. A two-way communication system using two integrated active antenna transceivers was demonstrated. The transmitter provides 63 mW output power with an estimated maximum link distance of 4.8 km
