An important part in meeting these requirements is the use of the mm-wave frequency range, enabling the use of a wide bandwidth and therefore the desired high-data rates. However, a challenging aspect of mm-wave communication lies in the efficient generation of RF power. In fact, currently reported power amplifiers are unable to reach the required output power for commercial applications. A typical way to increase the available power is to combine the signal from multiple sources using a power combiner. Power combiners in the mm-wave frequency range have been investigated for many years, but typical problems that occur are area occupation and insertion losses that grow directly with the number of inputs....
