Abstract :
The isolated locked hybrid junction power combiner, consisting of a single hybrid junction, appropriate phase-shifting element and circulator, combines three 1-port oscillators (one master oscillator strongly locking the other oscillators). Combiner frequency, noise and locking properties are controlled by the master oscillator, and combining efficiency close to 100%, can be achieved. The combiner can be extended in a modular fashion.
