Abstract
In this paper, a novel integrated vector control active patch is investigated for its Introduction in compact arrays with beamsteering capabilities. A dual-feed aperture coupled microstrip patch is simultaneously used as transmitting antenna and output power combiner of two quadrature-phase PHEMT amplifying branches. Gain and/or phase control can be achieved by properly biasing both devices either on the saturated region or in an attractive low voltage highly linear zone.
