Abstract: An RF power combiner. A plurality of RF inputs connect to a power combiner switch assembly. RF switches connect each input to a common node. A single stub matching circuit connects between the common node and an output node such that an open-ended transmission line stub extends from the output node. An RF output connector feeds an RF output connection from the output node. The stub of the L-match circuit has fixed length or variable length configurations. As a consequence, the impedances at the common and output nodes are more closely matched.

Abstract: A power combiner circuit for RF signals includes a multi-path network for conveying a plurality of RF signals over a selected path or paths, to a common node. A switched RF impedance transformer connects between the common node and an RF load. The switched RF transformer switches between first and second transformation functions depending upon the number of network paths that are selected.
