ABSTRACT:
A hybrid power combiner and controller device is disclosed. The device includes a multiple branch hybrid network, with PIN diodes employed to selectively short circuit the midpoints of the branch lines to ground. With the PIN diodes biased to the open circuit condition, the device behaves as a conventional hybrid combiner, for example, to combine the power produced by two input sources at the device output port. With the PIN diodes biased to the conductive condition, thereby shorting the branch line midpoints to ground, the device behaves as a matched multiple stub filter tuned to the desired band. Substantially all the power provided by one input power source will be provided at the device output in this case.
