An open system consisting of an active E-plane amplifier array consisting of Vivaldi-type antennas with MESFET and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) devices was investigated. The 4/spl times/1 MESFET amplifier array generated 11 and 4.5 dB of amplifier and system gain, respectively, at 7.12 GHz, and the cascade MMTC Vivaldi-type antenna produced 24 dB of amplifier gain at 8.4 GHz. Also, experiments on a new 2-D H-plane parallel-plate closed system with a stripline slot antenna is introduced, and the wavebeam-mode theory is presented. The new system minimizes scattering and isolation losses associated with open structures. The amplifier gain of the closed system based on slot antennas is compared to the open system based on Vivaldi antennas.}, number={6}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES}, author={Hicks, CW and Hwang, HS and Steer, MB and Mink, JW and Harvey, JF}, year={1998}, month={Jun}, pages={784–791} } @article{nuteson_hwang_steer_naishadham_harvey_mink_1997, title={Analysis of finite grid structures with lenses in quasi-optical systems}, volume={45}, ISSN={["0018-9480"]}, DOI={10.1109/22.575583}, abstractNote={A full-wave moment-method technique developed for the analysts of quasi-optical (QO) systems is used to model finite grid structures in a lens system. This technique incorporates an electric-field dyadic Green's function for a grid centered between two lenses. This is derived by separately considering paraxial and nonparaxial fields. Results for the driving point reflection coefficient of a 3/spl times/3 and 5/spl times/5 grid in the lens system are computed and compared with measurements.}, number={5}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES}, author={Nuteson, TW and Hwang, HS and Steer, MB and Naishadham, K and Harvey, J and Mink, JW}, year={1997}, month={May}, pages={666–672} } @inbook{steer_mink_hwang, title={Planar quasi-optical power combining}, booktitle={Active and quasi-optical arrays for solid-state power combining.}, publisher={New York: Wiley}, author={Steer, M.
