Abstract
In this study, we have implemented a PAM(Power Amplifier Module) with 25W output power using by cooperate divider/Combiner circuit in X-band to minimize combine loss on a Al2O3 substrate. The PAM(Power Amplifier Module) is consisted of MMIC and 10way traveling wave divider/Combiner with proposed structure what have showed that 45.2dBm output power, 16dB gain, PAE 26 % and 17dBc@44dBm IMD3 characteristics. This combine/divider structure can be used when multistage passive divider and combiner needs. especially, power amplifier with very compact size.
