Claim 9:
10. A method of increasing the total radiated power of an integrated antenna by manufacturing the integrated antenna for radiating an electromagnetic beam at a wavelength λ belonging to a range of millimeter and submillimeter waves and for exhibiting both a dielectric resonance and an electric resonance simultaneously, corresponding to each other,
the method comprises
integrating an array of two or more radiating elements in a dielectric die having specific dimensions such that the die exhibits the dielectric resonance at the wavelength λ in a direction of the electromagnetic beam emitted from the die perpendicularly to a die radiating surface,
ensuring that each radiating element includes an active integrated circuit for providing radiating power to the radiating element such that each of the two or more radiating elements exhibits the electrical resonance,
while arranging the array so that at least some of the radiating elements neighbouring in the array are placed at a spacing less than about λ/4 from one another, and selecting the dimensions of the die and parameters of said two or more radiating elements so that frequency of dielectric resonance (Fdr) corresponds to the wavelength λ and be a whole harmonic of 20 frequency of electrical resonance (Fer).
