Combiner for an RF Power Amplifier
United States Patent 9,093,731 B2, recently awarded to Empower RF Systems, validates the uniqueness of the hardware
architecture in use on Empower's high power, next generation amplifiers. The embodiments of this patent protection
are related to the design, associated materials, and integration of the high power combiner that is integral to
delivering multi-kW broadband power (CW) and narrow band pulse in an air cooled, 5U chassis (and other combinations
of power and chassis sizes utilizing this architecture). "We are pleased to receive this additional recognition
and patent protection for our next generation amplifiers," said Jon Jacocks, CEO. "This is a second award this year
that is specific to our next generation amplifier products and highlights the hard work and creativity of our design
teams".
The patent was submitted and authored for Empower RF Systems by Paulo Correa and Gerhard Peter. In the approved
abstract released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, the patent describes an RF combiner (and other design
elements) which is integral and unique to the high power amplifier, hardware architecture.
