  • Abstract
    A novel dual-FET active patch antenna element for quasi-optical power combining arrays is described. The circuit uses two FETs which symmetrically load a split patch antenna. The push-pull operation of the devices decreases H-plane crosspolarisation dramatically. A power output of 47 mW was achieved at 8.1 GHz.
