Abstract
An apparatus for combining outputs of serially connected high frequency power sources includes a number of input ports, an output port, and a power combination structure. The power combination structure includes two outer conductive layers which extend from the input ports to the output port and one or more intermediate conductive layers which extend from the input ports to a power combination region. High frequency power from the input ports propagates to the power combination region and therein combines vectorially. The sum of the individual input power levels then propagates to the output port. The power combiner can be reversed and used as a power divider operating into serially connected loads. A preferred embodiment, including two copper clad dielectric members and an aluminum base, operates at about 915 MHz. The power combiner can be constructed in a coaxial configuration.
