Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A power combiner, comprising:
one or more resistors comprising a sheet resistor;
one or more capacitors comprising a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a third capacitor; and
one or more inductors comprising a first inductor and a second inductor,
wherein the sheet resistor is electrically connected between a first input port and a second input port,
wherein the first capacitor is electrically connected between the first input port and a ground, the second capacitor is electrically connected between the second input port and the ground, and the third capacitor is electrically connected between an output port and the ground,
wherein the first inductor is electrically connected between the first input port and the output port, and the second inductor is electrically connected between the second input port and the output port, and
wherein the sheet resistor comprises:
an upper portion, a first end of the upper portion connected to the first input port and a second end of the upper portion connected to the second input port; and
a lower portion, a first end of the lower portion connected to the first input port and a second end of the lower portion connected to the second input port,

wherein the upper portion and the lower portion are connected in parallel between the first input port and the second input port, and
wherein the first end and the second end of the upper portion are respectively connected to the first end and the second end of the lower portion such that a closed loop void is formed between the upper portion and the lower portion.
