Abstract
Spatial power-combining devices and, in particular, spatial power-combining devices with filtering elements are disclosed. A spatial power-combining device includes a plurality of amplifier assemblies and each amplifier assembly includes an input antenna structure, an amplifier, an output antenna structure, and a filtering element. A filtering element may be an integral single component with an input signal conductor of the input antenna structure or an integral single component with an output signal conductor of the output antenna structure. In some aspects, a filtering element may be an integral single component with both the input signal conductor and the output signal conductor.
