Splitters/Combiners Bond High-Power Amplifiers

摘要

Stripline power splitters and combiners can be considered the glue of high-power wireless amplifiers. Since many individual transistors and amplifier modules must be combined to attain cellular base-station power levels, splitters/combiners are essential to amplifier designers. The Adrenaline~® series of splitters/combiners from Anaren Microwave (East Syracuse, NY) consists of modular circuit-board components that not only combine and divide signal power, but include DC power distribution and decoupling capacitors for each power module in an amplifier.
