Abstract
A system for quasi real-time computer aided characterization of symmetrical -way microwave power combining structures which utilizes a network analyzer to measure scattering parameters of said combining structure at various RF frequencies and at desired transmission routes through said combining structure. The routes are selected by a coaxial switching network which is controlled by said network analyzer which also computes and outputs the maximum combining efficiency, .eta., and the input impedance of the ith port under conditions of maximum combining efficiency, Zic.
