Active antenna amplifier (Antenna design)

Abstract

This thesis present the design of active antenna amplifier that can operate at frequency of 5.8 GHz. The proposed antenna is consist of 4x1 rectangular array antenna which is fed by class E power amplifier. Power amplifier with E-pHEMT ATF-55143 transistor is designed in order to amplify more signal to the antenna. The design of power amplifier successfully boosted by 10.984 dB. The combination of antenna with class E power amplifier generates the gain of 11.67 dB. The proposed of the antenna are highly comparable for point-to-point application.
