In this paper, we propose a wideband four-way turnstile-junction waveguide divider/combiner in the Ka-band. The proposed divider/combiner has an insertion loss of less than 0.8 dB over the frequency range of 28–39.5 GHz. A power combiner amplifier using this circuit and four MMIC amplifiers has been demonstrated with 83% combining efficiency at 34.9 GHz. The measured results show that the turnstile-junction waveguide divider-combiner is a suitable element for developing a broadband millimeter-wave spatial power combiner amplifier.
