Abstract
An amplifier using a plurality of solid state diodes as the active elements is shown to comprise a plurality of amplifier channels fed, through a first radial line, by signals to be amplified and connected, through a second radial line, to a load.
Claims3
An amplifier for radio frequency signals comprising:
- (a) a first and a second radial line, each having an E-plane bend formed in the peripheral portion thereof and centrally disposed means for connecting a signal to be amplified to the first radial line and an amplified signal to a load;
- and
- (b) a plurality of like amplifier channels radially disposed between the first and the second radial line, each one of such amplifier channels being coupled to the first and the second radial lines adjacent to the E-plane bend in such lines and incorporating a solid state diode as the active element.
