Abstract:
Systems and methods of use for a radial combiner. The radial combiner is made of a radial cavity defined by a top plate, a bottom plate, an outside wall connecting the top plate and the bottom plate, and an interior of the radial waveguide cavity located between the top plate, the bottom plate, and the outside wall with a substantially uniform height throughout. Inside the radial cavity are multiple monopole radiators, while outside the radial cavity multiple coaxial ports are mounted on one of the top plate or the bottom plate. Each of the coaxial ports are electrically connected to a corresponding monopole radiator inside the cavity. The radial combiner also contains a center conductor which is located in the center of the radial cavity, and transitions to a coaxial waveguide which is exterior to the cavity.

Claim (Index 13):
A method comprising:\n receiving a plurality of first signals at a plurality of coaxial ports equally spaced towards a periphery of a radial waveguide; and combining the plurality of first signals using a microwave combiner, the microwave combiner comprising:\n a radial waveguide cavity defined by:\n a top plate having a circular cross-section and a metallic composition; \n a bottom plate having a circular cross-section, a metallic composition, and being situated substantially parallel to the top plate; \n an outside wall connecting the top plate and the bottom plate along a circumference of at least one of the top plate and the bottom plate; and \n an interior of the radial waveguide cavity located between the top plate, the bottom plate, and the outside wall with a substantially uniform height throughout; \n \n a plurality of monopole radiators located within the interior of the radial waveguide cavity; \n a plurality of coaxial ports mounted on one of the top plate or the bottom plate, mounted exterior to the radial waveguide cavity, and substantially equally spaced towards a periphery of the radial waveguide cavity, each coaxial port in the plurality of coaxial ports:\n being mounted normal to the circular cross-section of the top plate or the bottom plate; and \n having a coaxial center conductor which extends through a hole in one of the top plate and the bottom plate, the coaxial center conductor of each coaxial port being electrically connected to one of the respective monopole radiators for each coaxial port within the interior of the radial waveguide cavity; and \n \n a center conductor, wherein the center conductor:\n is located substantially at a center of the interior of the radial waveguide cavity; \n is normal to the circular cross-section of the top plate or the bottom plate; \n extends within the interior of the radial waveguide cavity between the top plate and the bottom plate; \n transitions, on a first side of the interior, to a coaxial waveguide located exterior to the radial waveguide cavity; and \n terminates on a second side of the interior which is opposite the first side.
