3:1 microwave combiner - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

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!

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
