✦ Synopsis


A tapered microstrip power combiner is proposed Singa-(

) ) pore Patent 9610362-7 pending whose in-phase input ports are located on a straight line rather than located on an arc, making it highly suitable for high-power SSPAs. To achie¨e equal in-phase transmissions between the input ports and the output port, holes are arranged in the middle of the structure. Experimental results of a ten-way combiner operating at 10 GHz confirm the ¨iability of this approach.
