DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The existing RF power sources and transmitters use a power synthesizer, which is mostly a Wilkinson scheme suspension line for power synthesis. Since there is no isolation resistor, all power will be fed back into the power amplifier when the circuit is open, and unevenly distributed to each power, and the hot plug function cannot be realized when the whole device is in working state. Therefore, this embodiment provides a suspension high-isolation multi-channel power synthesizer, the purpose of which is to effectively protect the internal components of the power amplifier. When the whole device is completely open-circuited, the problem of damage to the internal components of the power amplifier due to uneven distribution of the synthesizer input port will not occur; and the hot plug function of the whole device is realized by setting the isolation resistor.

In this embodiment, the isolation resistor 4 is arranged in an array in the cavity 2, and the microstrip line 21 is arranged around the isolation resistor 4. As an optional method, the suspension tape inner conductor 22 of this embodiment adopts the Wilkinson method, which is mainly used to transmit signals, synthesizes multiple inputs into one output, and uses a copper plate surface plated with silver; the microstrip line 21 adopts the Giselle method, which is mainly used to realize an isolated transmission line, and the isolation resistor 4 is matched according to the number of paths of the suspension tape inner conductor 22.

If one, two, or more power amplifiers are broken, the power amplifiers can be directly replaced without affecting the operation of the whole device; 2.
