A novel technique is presented for measuring the transducer power gain of an amplifier which is an integral part of an active microstrip antenna. The bandwidth of the realised gain of the active antenna can also be determined with this technique. The validity of the proposed technique is verified by the measurement of an active microstrip antenna.
