ABSTRACT:
Two or more distributed amplifiers are paralleled to increase the available output power. Phase shifters are coupled to the amplifiers as necessary to maximize output power at a frequency. With this phase adjustment, the amplifiers may have effective electrical lengths which differ one from another by N (360.degree.), where N is zero or an integer. Values of N other than zero undesirably reduce the instantaneous bandwidth of the paralleled amplifiers. The bandwidth is maximized by the addition of sufficient delays to reduce N to zero.
