Abstract
A hybrid dielectric slab beam waveguide with four MESFET amplifiers employing quasi-optical power combining is reported for the first time. Up to 10 dB power gain is obtained at 7.4 GHz. Measurements for power gain, amplifier gain, insertion loss and transverse power distribution are presented. The fabrication technique employed is suitable for planar MMIC circuits.<>
