Abstract
Power-combining devices, and more particularly spatial power-combining and related structural arrangements are disclosed. Such structural arrangements involve mechanical connections between center waveguide sections and input and/or output coaxial waveguide sections that provide scalable structures for different operating frequency bands, improved mechanical connections, and/or improved assembly. Exemplary structural arrangements include structures that extend through center waveguide sections and into input and/or output coaxial waveguide sections, integrated mechanical structures within the center waveguide section, compression fit arrangements, dielectric inserts arranged within channels of coaxial waveguide sections, and/or various combinations thereof.
