  • Abstract
    A study is presented on the constraints on the size of conical line power combiners. The constraints are imposed by the occurrence of higher order modes which cause unpredictable behavior in electrically large structures. A simple method is presented to estimate the maximum size of the combining structure to ensure predictable transverse electromagnetic mode behavior.
