| 摘要 |
A multicarrier linear RF power amplifier incorporating an improved signal splitter and an improved signal combiner is disclosed. The amplifier comprises a plurality of wedge-shaped amplifier modules. When such modules are radially disp osed and abutted against one another, the inwardly facing edges of the modules collec tively define a central or axially-located opening. An improved signal splitter, signal combiner, or dual splitter/combiner is advantageously disposed in the axially-lo cated opening. The signal splitter or signal combiner is a conductor arrangement compr ising a plurality of equal length conductors radially disposed on a dielectric substra te. The conductor arrangement is advantageously disposed within a suitably-configured housing. The housing is disposed within the axially-located opening.
