High-power, Low-loss, Radial Rf Power Dividers/combiners
نویسندگان
چکیده
Development of a 20 kW Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA), at 352 MHz, is in progress at RRCAT. This design uses radial dividing and combining architecture. As a part of this system, two high power (4 kW) combiners have been designed and developed. First one is 8 way with output ports in opposite but parallel direction to input port. Second one is 16 way with radial output ports. This paper describes design and measured performance of these two structures. Predicted results are in good agreement with those measured results.

Wilkinson Power Dividers/Combiners The in-phase power combiners and dividers are important components of the RF and microwave transmitters when it is necessary to deliver a high level of the output power to antenna, especially in phased-array systems. In this case, it is also required to provide a high degree of isolation between output ports over some frequency range for identical in-phase sig...
متن کاملOvermoded Waveguide Components for High-Power RF
High-power applications of rf often require the use of overmoded waveguide to reduce the probability of rf breakdown by lowering surface fields, as well as to reduce the attenuation due to ohmic losses in transporting the power from the point of generation to the point of use. This is particularly true in the development of warm linear collider designs, such as NLC, JLC, and CLIC, especially th...

C ouplers (or power divider/combiners) with outputs that differ in phase by 90 degrees are an important part of RF/microwave design. This tutorial provides an overview of various types of 90-degree combiners, using both lumped element and transmission line structures. Our intention is to introduce the subject to engineers who may be unfamiliar with these couplers, and perhaps offer some reminde...

متن کاملSome Considerations for Optimal Efficiency and Low Noise in Large Power Combiners
This paper examines some relationships between important design parameters in large combiner systems and key performance objectives such as power, efficiency, noise, and graceful degradation. Results are derived for the combining efficiency of general combiner systems, and used to contrast spatial and corporate combiners and identify optimum combiner topology for a given device technology. The ...
