RF 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. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

There are several well known topologies. These are easily available in textbooks, ham radio books, or even with the internet.

The most common and simple combiner to use is Wilkinson.

check out minicircuit's app note.

For those frequencies a core and wire version will work best. I just design one last month at those frequencies with good results.
