The resistor absorbs no power, if the two modules are providing equal power and are IN PHASE. Be careful of this last one, particularly with p-p stages, as there are some splitter-combiners that oper
Oh, for anyone else interested I posted a small website explaining my two port combiner for 2200m. I also have a working 4 port unit. Also on the site are links to Wilkinson resources that will expla
Mal The resistor is there to deal with an unbalanced situation only. If everything is 'OK' then no current flows in the resistor. Don't be two weirded out by this circuit as it widely used on HF, VHF
Hi All Looking at the cct of the Wilkinson combiner there is a large 100 ohm Resistor involved. How efficient is this type of coupler and how much RF does the resistor eat up.What is the loss through
