Various techniques are disclosed to suppress undesired signal components introduced by non-linear amplifiers of phased array antenna systems to accommodate bandwidths greater than one octave. For example, in accordance with one embodiment, a phased array antenna system includes first and second antenna elements adapted to provide first and second received signals in response to a radio signal. The second antenna element is rotated approximately 180 degrees in relation to the first antenna element. Amplifiers may amplify the received signals to provide amplified signals having a bandwidth greater than one octave. Undesired components of the amplified signals introduced by the amplifiers may be suppressed through appropriate phase shifts performed by associated phase shifters and/or power combiners. A power combiner may combine the first and second output signals to provide a combined signal, wherein the first and second undesired components are suppressed in the combined signal relative to the amplified signals.
