Broadband Active Microstrip Antennas

TL;DR: In this paper, an active microstrip transmit antenna was realized by using two sided structure and single-ended one-stage amplifier configuration, which achieved a 24 percent bandwidth, which is about 6 times that of the passive patch, both in terms of active reflection coefficient and flat gain of radiation, and about 9dB extra gain was obtained in the working band.
