Abstract
Spatial power-combining devices having amplifier connectors are disclosed. A spatial power-combining device structure includes a plate including a first face, a second face that opposes the first face, an exterior surface between the first face and the second face, and a plurality of amplifier connectors accessible at the exterior surface. A waveguide assembly is coupled to the plate at the first face, the waveguide assembly including an inner housing including a plurality of antenna signal conductors and an outer housing including a plurality of antenna ground conductors. A coaxial waveguide section is coupled to the waveguide assembly. The plurality of amplifier connectors may be radially arranged in the plate. A plurality of amplifier modules are on the exterior surface and coupled to corresponding ones of the plurality of amplifier connectors.
