A 10-element active lens amplifier on a dielectric slab

This paper presents an active lens amplifier on a dielectric slab. An amplifier gain of 11 dB at 8.25 GHz, measured from input to output connector, with a 3-dB bandwidth of 0.65 GHz has been demonstrated. Measurements of output power versus input power are also presented.
