More Information
Summary:A multicarrier linear RF power amplifier incorporating an improved signal splitter and an improved signal combiner is disclosed. The amplifier comprises a plurality of wedge-shaped amplifier modules (318i). When such modules are radially disposed and abutted against one another, the inwardly facing edges of the modules collectively define a central or axially-located opening (326). An improved signal splitter (416), signal combiner (422), or dual splitter/combiner is advantageously disposed in the axially-located opening (326). The signal splitter or signal combiner is a conductor arrangement comprising a plurality of equal length conductors radially disposed on a dielectric substrate. The conductor arrangement is advantageously disposed within a suitably-configured housing (416,422). The housing is disposed within the axially-located opening.
