This article studied the radio station inspection method, which utilizes the 8T8R combiner to reduce 5G radio station inspection measurement times. It is a common that 5G radio station inspections measure RF (Radio Frequency) output signals, which correspond to the number of arrayed antennas individually. However, this study suggested a way to save the time spent on existing methods, by comparing measurement values of individual channels and 8T8R. As a result, it is confirmed that when the 8T8R combiner is used, not only the resulting value of radio station inspections was accurate, but also the measurement time being shortened by up to 8 times compared to existing method.

The research of amplifier have been actively conducted to replace the Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) in the mmWave. For Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA), which combine semiconductor-type devices to obtain high output, Low-loss, high-efficiency combination techniques are required to meet the required output as the output of a single relatively low device is relatively low. In this paper, we design and produce an 8-way waveguide combiner and a reflective loss of more than 20dB and a binding efficiency of 85% or more were identified. Field analysis calculates the critical power inside the combiner. It secured stable Power Ratings and built-in coupler for power monitoring to achieve miniaturization and light weight.
