Abstract :
This paper describes a serial power combiner which consists of novel suspended stripline couplers. The suspended stripline couplers have additional parallel capacitances to improve their directivities. The fabricated three-way power combiner has realized a good performance in insertion loss which is less than 0.23 dB over a bandwidth of 10% in the S-band.
