Abstract
The invention provides a device including a radial combiner for electromagnetic waves and a method using a radial combiner. The invention provides a radial combiner with resistors disposed between the impedance matches capable of combining these signals from a plurality of radially disposed amplifiers or transmitters. By applying desired phase shifts to the signals transmitted by certain amplifiers or transmitters, amplitude-phase modulation of the total signal transmitted can be provided. It is more particularly possible to provide radar pulse modulation for reducing the frequency spectra of the transmitted signal.
