Claim 0:
1. A spatial power-combining device comprising:
a center waveguide section comprising a plurality of amplifier assemblies, wherein the plurality of amplifier assemblies form a first end and a second end;
a first coaxial waveguide section attached to the first end, the first coaxial waveguide section comprising a first outer conductor and a first inner conductor that form a first channel therebetween;
a second coaxial waveguide section attached to the second end, the second coaxial waveguide section comprising a second outer conductor and a second inner conductor that form a second channel therebetween, the second inner conductor comprising a first portion and a second portion that are separate elements attached to one another; and
a mechanical fastener at least partially arranged within the center waveguide section such that the plurality of amplifier assemblies are arranged radially around the mechanical fastener, wherein a threaded portion of the mechanical fastener is threaded into the first coaxial waveguide section and a head of the mechanical fastener is fixed between the first portion and the second portion of the second inner conductor such that the head of the mechanical fastener is enclosed by the second portion of the second inner conductor within the second coaxial waveguide section.
