Abstract
The invention relates to a three-way, three-phase power divider or combiner. More specifically, the invention will split or combine power into three different phases at 0 degrees, 60 degrees and 120 degrees using lumped elements, waveguides, microstripline, stripline and coaxial cable. The shift in phase of each leg of the power divider or combiner results in suppression of harmonic distortion, improved efficiency and matching of identical amplifiers with equivalent input impedances or reflection coefficients.
Claims10
A three-way, three-phase power divider having three outputs for splitting an input signal into three equal signals referenced to the center port comprising:
- a) a single input for receiving the input signal;
- and
- b) three phase shift circuits for shifting the phase of the input signal into three signals displaced sixty decrees with reference to the center port.
