Abstract
The present invention relates to a high-power solid state amplifier arrangement comprising a large number of solid state amplifiers disposed in a waveguide array. The waveguide array is disposed in the aperture of an antenna feed arrangement at the image plane of an antenna feed to receive a uniform distribution over the array with substantially no spillover. Each of the large number of parallel waveguide sections of the array includes one or more solid state amplifiers in a serial, waveguide-interconnected, arrangement, and a wideband impedance matching arrangement in the waveguide configuration at the input and output of the section.
