Patent ID: 11043725

Abstract:
A power divider/combiner includes a main conductor defining an axis and having an outer surface; an input connector, at a front end, having a center conductor, electrically coupled to the main conductor and having an axis aligned with the main conductor axis; a first hollow cylindrical conductor having an open end facing rearwardly, having an inner cylindrical surface, the main conductor being received in and spaced apart from the inner cylindrical surface, the first hollow cylindrical conductor being electrically coupled to the second conductor of the input connector; a second hollow cylindrical conductor having an open end facing forwardly, the first cylindrical conductor being received in and spaced apart from the inner cylindrical surface of the second cylindrical conductor; a third hollow cylindrical conductor having an open back end facing rearwardly, the second cylindrical conductor being received in and spaced apart from the inner cylindrical surface of the third cylindrical conductor; and a plurality of output connectors, the output connectors being angularly spaced apart relative to each other, the output connectors having center conductors electrically coupled to the third cylindrical conductor. Methods are also provided.
