  • Abstract
    A broadband circularly polarised (CP) high efficiency active antenna is presented, where the antenna is integrated directly with a high efficiency class-E power amplifier (PA). The printed antenna is employed not only as a broadband CP radiator but also as a harmonics-termination load network for the class-E PA. Measured results demonstrate broadband CP radiation and high efficiency.
