Abstract :
Millimeter-wave planar power combiners have been developed at frequencies of 44 GHz and 60 GHz. These combiners are three-way and five-way and are of tapered line construction. They show transmission loss of 0.6 dB, a voltage standing wave ratio of 1.5:1, and isolation of greater than 15 dB. These combiners are suitable for combining the outputs of monolithic microwave integrated circuit, high electron mobility transistor, and heterojunction bipolar transistor amplifier chips to form a one-watt level amplifier module.<>
