Quasi-Optical Millimeter Wave Power Combiner.
Abstract
A millimeter wavelength power combiner comprising an open resonator comprising a pair of confronting concave reflectors which can be either spherical or parabolic. The resonator dimensions are many times the wavelength of the energy sources to be combined. A plurality of millimeter wave energy sources are applied to the resonator in such a way that the great majority of the energy bounces back and forth between the reflectors near the axis thereof in the fundamental or Gaussian mode. The design minimizes multimoding and diffraction losses. (Author)
