Progressive Power-Combination

 

 

 

 

 

 

Innovative solution to combine high-power amplifiers (ideal for liquid-cooled transmitters), which makes use of Progressive Multicouplers and Hybrid Couplers. This system delivers the maximum possible Transmitter efficiency (Typical 99% – 0.04 dB overall I.L.), and a high port isolation (>30 dB), allowing partial operation and hot replacement of the amplifiers. Compared with Quadrature design, Progressive Power Combination handles a higher power, with smaller dimensions, and requires, on average, smaller loads. Integrated Liquid Cooled Loads are available as an Option. Requires dedicated Progressive Splitters. Implemented in MH Series Multicouplers and PS Series Splitters.
