Claim 2:
3. Method of operating a power combiner network (1) according to claim 1, wherein each N secondary port (11(1, 2, . . . , N)) of the power combiner device (10) comprises an amplifier device (25), and wherein the method step of;
step A (100), selecting which of the N secondary ports (11(1, 2, . . . , N)) that should be set in an inactive operation mode, thereby being I inactive secondary ports (11(1)), and which of the N secondary ports (11(1, 2, . . . , N)) that should be set in an active operation mode, thereby being A active secondary ports (11(2)), comprises the sub method step of;
step AB (210), detecting failure of operation of the amplifier device (25), wherein each of the N secondary port (11(1, 2, . . . , N)) for which a failed amplifier device (25) has been detected is selected to be an I inactive secondary port (11(1)) set in inactive operation mode.
