ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for building three-dimensional spatial power combiners for efficiently combining power from a large number of active devices are being disclosed. The apparatus discloses a plurality of grid amplifiers, each having a major surface, the plurality of grid amplifiers are arranged along an axis that is perpendicular to the major surface of each grid amplifier and spatially separated from each other by a selected resonant distance to generate a standing wave between adjacent grid amplifiers. The method discloses selecting a plurality of grid amplifiers each having a major surface, arranging the plurality of grid amplifiers along an axis that is perpendicular to the major surface of each grid amplifier, selecting a resonance distance, and spatially separating said plurality of grid amplifiers by the resonant distance to generate a standing wave between adjacent grid amplifiers.
