New Six-Way Waveguide to Microstrip Transition applied in X Band Spatial Power Combiner

A Spatial Power Combiner is proposed using an innovative waveguide to microstrip transition capable to divide the electric field in six equal parts per card. This device can combine 12 MMIC Solid State Power Amplifiers in the whole X Band with 13 dB of return loss and only 2.2 dB losses in a small s...

Summary:A Spatial Power Combiner is proposed using an innovative waveguide to microstrip transition capable to divide the electric field in six equal parts per card. This device can combine 12 MMIC Solid State Power Amplifiers in the whole X Band with 13 dB of return loss and only 2.2 dB losses in a small size, high power and high efficiency system.
