Claim Text:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a first input port configured to receive a first power from a first high frequency Ka-band or higher power amplifier operating continuously at saturated or peak output power without back-off; a second input port configured to receive a second power from a second high frequency Ka-band or higher power amplifier simultaneously operating continuously at saturated output power, without back-off, independent of the input power level; and a combiner with no differential phase shifter and no septum polarizer configured to simultaneously receive the first power from the first input port and the second power from the second input port, and further configured to combine the first power and the second power to produce a maximized power, wherein the first power and the second power are unequal and further wherein the combiner can combine both integral and non-integral power ratios including any arbitrary ratio of unequal input power.
