A patch antenna and class B power amplifier are integrated for size reduction and high power added efficiency (PAE) through harmonic suppression. Harmonic suppressing slits are etched on the patch such that both linear and circular polarizations are supported. The mechanism of the slits is explained, and both components are characterized and examined for performance validation. Measured results show that the harmonic suppression leads to up to 5% improvement in PAE and that the antenna’s radiation pattern is not disturbed by the added harmonic suppressing slits for all supported polarizations.
