A Ka-Band, High Efficiency, Small Size Spatial Combiner (SPC) is proposed in this paper, which uses an innovatively matched quadruple Fin Lines to microstrip (FLuS) transitions.

A computational electromagnetic model using the finite elements method has been implemented. A mean insertion loss of 2 dB is achieved with a return loss better the 10 dB in the 31-37 GHz bandwidth.

Abstract
A Ka-Band, High Efficiency, Small Size Spatial Combiner (SPC) is proposed in this paper, which uses an innovatively matched quadruple Fin Lines to microstrip (FLuS) transitions. At the date of this paper and at the Author's best knowledge no such FLuS innovative transitions have been reported in literature before. These transitions are inserted into a WR28 waveguide T-junction, in order to allow the integration of 16 Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA's). A computational electromagnetic model using the finite elements method has been implemented. A mean insertion loss of 2 dB is achieved with a return loss better the 10 dB in the 31-37 GHz bandwidth.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
