Hi Mal

This was the original 2 port design I used to combine two 500W amps.  Works fine.  Steve, VE7SL uses this design done as well for his 1KW amp.

A possible benefit is that the combiner elements provide very good low pass filtering so you may not need a separate filter.   Make sure the LO chain of both amps is shared.

This design should be fine for your application and won't need ferrite.

Maybe the decca approach is better with just a transformer, 3 primary winding and one output winding, their method handles 1.2 K/watts without any strain.

Two amplifiers to combine to one output. 2 ports in 1 port out

Hi Mal

How many ports?

I personally prefer air core coils but iron dust work better than ferrite for this application.  Amidon #3 is the best.

Once I know the number of ports I can give you values.

Regards,
Scott

LF/MF    Is anyone using a wilkinson combiner with LF amplifiers and if so what are the optimum paramaters for ferrite cores/windings
