Abstract :
A packaged microwave FET has been integrated directly onto a rectangular patch antenna, forming an active radiating element for array applications. The FET is mounted across a narrow slot in the patch, and operates in a single bias, common-source configuration. A total radiated power of approximately 6 mW was measured at 8.2 GHz.
