Abstract :
A power combiner for nonlinear amplifiers based on the Wilkinson circuit method using lumped elements is presented. Compared to existing designs, the third harmonics of the two different signals, fed into the two input ports of the circuit, are matched and decoupled as well. The circuit is described and theoretical and measured results are presented.
