Active Antennas and Quasi-Optical Power Generation

摘要

Recent progress in the active antennas and quasi-optical power generation isreviewed in this paper. Classifications of the quasioptical technologies are discussed and the active antenna arrays using strong coupling technology are presented. By using the strong coupling technology, active antenna arrays designed for power combining, mode switching, and optical control are demonstrated. The configurations and topologies of active antennas as single elements as well as array elements are discussed. (MM).
