Abstract :
An X-band eight-MESFET two-dimensional spatial periodic power combiner has been designed and fabricated. The theoretical analysis and experimental results obtained are described. The effective radiated power of this combiner is 8.5 W at 9.73 GHz. This combiner is small, lightweight, and suited for monolithic implementation. This power combiner is not sensitive to bias variations. A large signal analysis of the structure has been performed, and no other mode of oscillation was excited.<>
