The traveling-wave divider/combiner
Abstract
A new kind of distributed power divider/combiner circuit for use in octave (or more) bandwidth microstrip power transistor amplifiers is presented. The design, characteristics, and advantages are discussed. Experimental results on a four-way divider and divider/combiner are presented and compared with theory. First experimental results on a six-way traveling-wave divider (TWD) are also presented.
