  • Abstract
    The paper introduces an active antenna module which performs both receiving and transmitting operations with an extremely reduced number of components. Receiving operations, in particular, are based on a quasi-regenerative approach, which guarantees an high sensitivity while maintaining a quite simple structure. Experimental results are reported describing a rugged 2.4 GHz ISM band prototype.
