Patent ID: 8558620

Claim:
A radial power combination system with phase dispersion compensation in a microwave field, comprising: a first radial waveguide, being a radial divider, having an input in its center and a plurality of outputs on its periphery, each of the outputs being a metal waveguide, the first radial waveguide configured to divide one input signal into several output signals; a second radial waveguide, being a radial combiner, superposed on the radial divider, having an output at its center and a plurality of inputs on its periphery, each of the inputs being a metal waveguide, the second radial waveguide configured to combine a plurality of input signals into one output signal; a first, input transition transmitting a first signal in the radial divider; a second, output transition capturing the first signal amplified to the output of the radial combiner; a plurality of amplifying channels, each comprising: a third, input transition configured to interact with one of the metal waveguides of the radial divider, a fourth, output transition configured to interact with one of the metal waveguides of the radial combiner, at least one amplifier secured to the third and fourth transitions; and means for adjusting a positioning of at least one amplifying channel in the metal waveguides.
