Abstract
A solid state amplifier for a microwave transmitter includes a power divider wherein a signal to be amplified is divided into signals of equal signal levels. The equal level signals are respectively coupled to a plurality of amplifiers wherefrom the amplified signals are coupled to a combiner wherein the amplified signals are added and signal sum provided at an output terminal of the combiner. Each of the amplifiers may be comprised of a first stage amplifier, the output signal of which is coupled to a multiplicity of component amplifiers which, in tern, are coupled to a the output terminal of the first stage amplifier via a second power divider wherefrom signals of equal level are provided to the component amplifiers. Bias voltages are provided to the amplifiers via a modularized power supply having some modules with redundant converters.
