Design of Tri-frequency Combiner Based on Inverted T-stub Combiner Network by LIU Zirui, WANG Haoyu, HUANG Kama

“…This study aims to overcome the physical constraints of traditional structures by proposing a novel combining network design that enables efficient synthesis of multi-band and cross-octave signals, addressing the urgent demand for combiners with multi-frequency support, wide bandwidth, low loss, and high isolation in modern microwave systems.MethodsThis study proposes an innovative combiner network architecture based on inverted T-shaped stubs, comprising a notch network and an impedance matching network. Functionally, the notch network isolates channels by creating impedance nulls at specific frequencies, while the matching network ensures broadband impedance matching between the bandpass filters and the notch network, thereby guaranteeing low-loss transmission of in-band signals. …”
