60 GHz monolithic active antenna array

We present a monolithic 60-GHz quasi-optical amplifier antenna array. An input plane wave is received by the slot antennas in the ground plane, capacitively coupled through the GaAs substrate to the microstrip PHEMT amplifiers, and radiated in transmission by patch antennas.
