Abstract

A new method to generate high microwave and millimeter-wave power by combining the output of many two- or three-terminal devices is presented. This method forms a single resonant structure from many active devices, and therefore the combiner is stable and does not suffer from simultaneous multimode difficulties. Also, due to the fact that the complete structure acts as a single resonator, wideband frequency tuning of such an oscillator is possible. Experimental results from several power combiners utilizing Gunn diodes are presented.<>
