摘要
A four-element power-combining array of quasi-optical dot oscillators has been constructed at 20 GHz. The array is placed on a dielectric substrate lens to increase the directivity and the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP). The array delivers a total power output of 68 mW with an effective isotropic radiated power of 4.4 W. The DC to RF efficiency of the array is 12%. The substrate lens approach provides a planar design that eliminates substrate mode problems and, therefore, is easily scaled to millimeter-wave frequencies.
