Abstract :
In this paper, a novel design approach and measured results of a compact proximity coupled active integrated antenna (PCAIA) are presented. A new type of antenna feed structure is proposed. A single self-biased (through the RF port), two-stage low noise amplifier has been integrated with a proximity coupled patch antenna having a new feed structure. The proposed approach is useful in the design of compact PCAIA with good radiation characteristics for applications in microwave wireless systems.
