Abstract :
An integrated electromagnetic and circuit modeling environment is developed for a CPW-based spatial power combining array with folded slot antennas. The simulation and measurements of the effective isotropic power gain (EIPG) of an individual cell and of a 4/spl times/4 array is presented.
