A method of combining a plurality of powers in an integrated circuit comprising:
- receiving the plurality of powers on a corresponding a plurality of primary coils, wherein each primary coil in the plurality of primary coils comprising a respective coupling part and a respective non-coupling part;
- coupling the plurality of powers from the corresponding plurality of primary coils to a secondary coil through only the coupling parts of the respective plurality of primary coils, wherein only the coupling part of every primary coil in the plurality of primary coils is inductively coupled to the secondary coil;
- and
- nullifying power in the respective non-coupling part of each primary coils in the plurality of primary coils.
A power combiner formed on an integrated circuit comprising:
- a secondary coil formed as a loop, the secondary coil having a first part and a second part;
- a first primary coil with a first coupling part and a first non-coupling part, the first primary coil receiving a first signal power, the first coupling part is aligned with the first part of the secondary coil to inductively couple the first signal power to the first part;
- and
- a second primary coil with a second coupling part and a second non-coupling part, the second primary coil receiving a second signal power, the second coupling part is aligned with the second part of the secondary coil to inductively couple the second signal power to the second part,
- wherein, the first non-coupling parts and the second non-coupling parts are conductively overlapped such that the current through the overlapped first non-coupling part and the second non-coupling parts is zero.
