Abstract: An integrated power combiner is disclosed. The power combiner includes a first circular geometry primary winding having one or more inductive elements, such as an active winding with one or more driver stages. A circular geometry secondary winding is disposed adjacent to the first primary winding, such as an active winding with one or more driver stages. A second circular geometry primary winding is disposed adjacent to the secondary winding and has one or more inductive elements. One or more connections are provided between one or more of the inductive elements of the first circular geometry primary winding and one or more of the inductive elements of the second circular geometry primary winding.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a generic approach to the design of single-path, switchless multi-resonant, multi-band power amplifiers. In the preferred embodiments, the amplifier includes one or more amplification stages, a switchless, multi-resonant, input impedance network, a switchless, multi-resonant, output impedance network, and if multi-stage, a switchless, multi-resonant, interstage impedance network between each amplification stage. Multi-band amplification is accomplished without the need for externally-applied, frequency-indicating control signals. Moreover, the amplifier may be designed to provide concurrent multi-band amplification or non-concurrent amplification.
