“…Active microstrip antennas are potentially attractive for realizing large aperture phased array antennas suitable for satellite and space based communication [1]. They also offer an effective alternative to conventional phase and adaptive arrays for a few commercial application [2], short range microwave communication, LAN's, microwave identification systems [3].…”

A Gunn mounted active microstrip patch antenna (AMPA) and active microstrip slot antenna (ASRA) has been investigated for the reception of FM microwave signal. Current well/valley phenomenon has been successfully utilized to demodulate the modulation information. Reception poperty of the both antennas are studied in multi-channel environment. Because of its simple circuit configuration and similarity in transmitter and receiver architecture, active patch antenna as demonstrated is well suited for commercial and military application as a two-way microwave communication system. A comparative study on the role of AMPA and ASRA as a receiver shows that ASRA do better performances than AMPA. In case of ASRA the modulating signal are demodulated without any distortion. ASRA also has large locking range (29 MHz) compare to AMPA (5 MHz). So the ASRA has broad band tuning capabilities than AMPA. With ASRA configuration demodulation bandwidth in excess of 14 MHz is realizable which can successfully accommodate a large number of voice or data channels.

“…An Active Slot-Ring Antenna (ASRA) i.e. a microstrip slot antenna integrated with active device performs both the function of generation and radiation simultaneously [1][2][3][4][5][6]. It is an active device mounted slotted ring antenna coupled to the free space through an output port matched to the free space.…”

To find the optimum location of an active device i.e., Gunn diode in the Active tapered Slot-Ring Antenna (ASRA) equivalent {ABCD} matrix parameters has been used, so that the best performance in antenna characteristics is realized in terms of power radiated and power received. Microstrip tapered slotring antenna was fabricated by using a 0.787mm thick Takonic TLY-5-0310-CH/CH substrate with  r = 2.2 and the active device used is commercially available low power MA/COM packaged Gunn diode (MA 49104) with typical dc to rf conversion efficiency of approximately 1.5% for experimental study. Radiation pattern and locking characteristics of the ASRA have been measure and presented in support of the analytical methods.
