Circular-Waveguide Power Combiner/Divider

Power combiner/divider devised in which output from several solid-state modules combined directly into TE01 mode of circular waveguide. Results in low-loss, wide band device: because axisymmetry of TE01 mode, no essential limit on N. Latter feature is advantage in design of wide band, high-power, solid-state amplifiers operating at millimeter wavelengths.
