Abstract
A full model is presented of a receiving antenna that includes a microstrip dipole together with its MMIC amplifier. The model uses the integral equation technique associated with the multiport representation of an active circuit. Theoretical results are in good agreement with experimental results. Gain and bandwidth are largely increased in comparison to those of the same antenna without an amplifier.
