Wideband Double-Ridge Waveguide High-Power RF Combiner Assembly

A High-Power Combiner Assembly is a critical component in microwave & RF systems that allows multiple High-Power RF signals to combine efficiently into a single, High-Power output. These assemblies are categorized in terms of isolated and non-isolated systems. In general, for an isolated Power Combiner, Circulators or Magic-Tees are used. These assemblies are essential in various applications, including telecommunications, military radar systems, and academic scientific research. In this whitepaper we will focus on two newly developed Double-Ridge Waveguide High-Power 2-way RF Combiner Assemblies. The first one is a WRD250 Isolated 2-way Combiner operating from 2.5-7.5 GHz, capable of handling an output average power of 1.5 KW. The second Combiner, wideband WRD500 High-Power RF Combiner Assembly, operates from 6-18 GHz.
