contains
two
10
kW
power
blocks
in
one
cabinet.
One
power
block
contains
the
Micro

controller,
the
other
power

The
output
of
the
Exciter
switcher
drives
a
2
‐
way
splitter.
This
splitter
is
a
3
dB
Hybrid
type
and
one
output
port
has
a
90
°
phase
shift.
The
power
blocks
each
have
a
0
°
phase
shift
which
allows
for
the
correct
phasing
at
the
power
block
combiner.
The
6
kW
power
block
combiner
reject
load
is
sized
to
accept
half
the
total
RF
in
the
case
where
one
power
block
is
off.
