Abstract
One of the key elements of a Ku Band Transmit active antenna is the power amplifier. On the one hand, the high level of integration required in such an antenna dictates a reduced size of each amplification niodule. On the other hand, the power added efficiency must be maximized in order to lower the consumption and make the thermal control of the antenna easier or possible ! The detailed design and performance of a Ku Band 6 Watts ouput power / 40 dB gain power amplifier fulfilling these constraints are given.
