Claim 24:
25. A microwave coupling/combining device for coupling and combining at least two microwave sources, comprising a waveguide provided with:
a sleeve extending longitudinally along a main axis and having two opposite ends comprising a first end provided with a short-circuiting element and a second open end; and
at least one transverse bar extending inside the sleeve along a transverse axis orthogonal to the main axis;
said microwave coupling/combining device further comprising at least two coaxial connectors provided to be respectively connected to microwave sources,
wherein each coaxial connector among the at least two coaxial connectors is externally mounted on the sleeve and has a conductive central core connected to and extended by a conductive antenna extending inside of the sleeve and ending by an end attached to one of the at least one transverse bar, wherein said conductive central core and said conductive antenna are aligned and extend in a direction orthogonal to the transverse axis and to the main axis;
wherein the at least one transverse bar comprises at least one hollow transverse bar, wherein a cooling liquid is circulated inside the at least one hollow transverse bar.
