Sommario/riassunto

An introduction to the theory and practice of active antenna design and power combining, integrating areas of solid-state devices, antennas, and microwave circuits. The volume provides background theories, and reviews the methods and concepts behind power combining and synchronization, all active integrated devices on microstrip patches, grids, notches, and other antennas. These devices are applied to transmitters and power combining arrays, concluding with beam steering. The discussions feature 250 illustrations, and offers application examples.
