Abstract :
A noise model for a developed active antenna is presented. The active antenna is a series of distributed of active devices and microstrip transmission lines. This poses an interesting problem in terms of noise analysis, because the active devices and antenna can no longer be separated. The developed noise model is verified with experimental measurements.
