Abstract
A diode detector is integrated into a microstrip patch antenna. Tuning and matching of the detector are accomplished by adjusting the geometry of the patch. Cost, power consumption, losses, and spurious responses are reduced. The antenna may be adapted to a mixer, video detector, i.f. detector, or audio detector.
