3:1 microwave combiner - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi everyone.

I want to know about 3:1 directional couper (combiner). Can anyone provide me papers, articles or circuits about it?

Thanks for your time and help.

Hi all,

This is my first post, so please excuse my newbieness.

I'm reading up on LNA design, and I'm curious about the DC bias feedback setup using a reactive component (e.g. inductor) at the NPN's emitter lead to improve stability.

Can someone direct me to the formal analysis of this with regards to relating it to stability? I'm assuming that it helps maintain the collector current to have a uniform stability across a band of frequencies. I'm just not to sure how to come up with the reactive component value.

I can see the results right away using ADS, but I would like to see some sort of analysis on paper.

Thank you very much!
