Abstract
The design of a novel X-band reflective quasioptical amplifier microstrip p atch away is presented. Polarization diversity was used to maintain input a nd output isolation below 35 dB. A comparative measurement of the passive a nd active structures was carried out to characterize the gain and other rel ated parameters for the evaluation of the active away. An active array was developed at X-band, with an effective power of 14 dBm and an EIRP of 29 dB m. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
