This allows the construction of raising/lowering operators with a simple action on non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials. A bilinear series of non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials is introduced as a $q$-analogue of the type $A$ Dunkl integral kernel ${\cal K}_A(x;y)$. The aforementioned operators are used to show that the function satisfies $q$-analogues of the fundamental properties of ${\cal K}_A(x;y)$.LaTeX 2.09, 15 pagesQuantum Algebratext
