Active and Quasi-Optical Arrays for Solid-State Power Combining

A quasi--optical component does not require physical transmission lines for interconnection to other components, and achieves higher output power than individual oscillators. This type of array is used in the design of hardware for practical microwave and millimeter--wave applications, such as wireless communications, microwave sensors, and radar. This book devoted solely to quasi--optical arrays offers an introduction and survey of the current state of the art in millimeter--wave and microwave power--combining using quasi--optical techniques.
