Abstract: Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments are provided for stacked active RF circuits implemented as amplification stages in high gain phased array antenna systems. Stacked active RF circuits may be implemented, for example, as an amplification stage of an element electronic circuit. Stacked active RF circuits may be implemented, for example, as a second amplification stage to maintain amplification in a high gain phased array antenna system. In one example, a system comprises a substrate comprising a plurality of substrate layers and one or more input ports and output ports. A plurality of amplification stages comprising a plurality of amplifiers, attenuators, and phase shifters are integrated within the plurality of substrate layers, the amplification stage coupled between the input and output ports. One or more monitor circuits are coupled to the plurality of amplification stages. Additional systems and methods are also provided.
