Abstract

A power combiner in the form of a balanced LC combiner is provided. Inputs of the power combiner are isolated from one another via at least one RC matching element. The at least one RC matching element is dimensioned such that the connection between the inputs is at a stable potential during operation of the power combiner at at least one position. The power combiner can be formed in a planar design and have electrically conductive layers running parallel to one another. At least an inductor and a combiner capacitor are formed in the electrically conductive layers. A power combiner arrangement including the power combiner and high-frequency signal sources attached at least two inputs is also provided. The high-frequency signal sources can be in the form of frequency-agile transistor amplifiers.
