Patent number: 8319583Abstract: An N-way multi-layer radial power combiner/divider comprises an RF layer including N planar RF transmission lines radiating from a common port to N ports. An isolation layer substantially parallel to the RF layer comprises a star resistor having N resistive arms radiating from a common junction and N planar isolation transmission lines coupled in series to respective resistive arms. Each series pair of a resistive arm and an isolation transmission line is ideally a half-wavelength in electrical length. N vertical interconnects between the RF layer and the isolation layer connect the ends of the N isolation transmission lines to the ends of the N RF transmission lines at the N individual ports, respectively. Any path from one individual port through the common junction of the star resistor to another individual port is approximately a full wavelength ?c or multiple thereof so that the phase angle through the isolation network is approximately zero degrees.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2009Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventor: Steven E.

Patent number: 5856713Abstract: A multiple terminal selector switch for use with millimeter-wave signals has a layout of components enabling the switch to be constructed on a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) chip while maintaining adequately low cross talk among ports of the switch to retain isolation among its ports. The circuitry includes a transmission line having multiple taps spaced apart by an integral number of half wavelengths of the signal, wherein the taps connect to separate ports via arms of the circuit. Each arm has an electronically switchable element for producing open or short circuits for connection and disconnection of a switch port from the transmission line. One primary tap of the transmission line is unswitched and connects with a further port from which, or to which, signals of the other ports are selectively switched.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 1997Date of Patent: January 5, 1999Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Steven E. Huettner, William F. Miccioli
