Abstract
The authors present a quasioptical power combining transmission amplif ier for increasing the power level available from solid-state circuits . Receiving and transmitting arrays of patch antennas, input/output is olation, MESFETs, bias and matching circuitry are contained on a singl e substrate, making monolithic millimetre-wave integration possible. T he flexibility of selecting input polarisation with respect to the out put while maintaining amplifier stability is demonstrated. A 24-MESFET patch antenna amplifier array is presented.
