The conventional microstrip power combiner using a copper foil substrate is composed of a planar circuit, so that it is easy to reduce the size and the arrangement of input / output terminals is a microstrip line. There is an advantage that it can be freely selected by drawing around. However, the transmission line made of copper foil is as thin as 30 μm, and the width of the microstrip line is wide in order to reduce heat generation due to resistance loss. It is difficult to increase power when space for forming a planar circuit is limited. Problem. An epoxy-based adhesive is used to bond the copper foil and the dielectric substrate. However, there is a problem that the adhesive strength is deteriorated due to heat generation and the reliability is deteriorated. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a small-sized microstrip-type high-power combiner capable of increasing power and improving reliability.

According to this configuration, since the microstrip line is composed of the outer conductor shear 1, the transmission line conductor 8 made of a copper plate having a required thickness, and the ceramic plate 5, the resistance of the transmission line conductor 8 is reduced. The heat generated by the loss is dissipated by the copper plate, and the temperature rise of the transmission line conductor 8 can be reduced by the heat radiation effect of the ceramic plate 5. In addition, by using a material having a high withstand voltage and a high dielectric constant for the ceramic plate 5, the ceramic plate 5 can be made thinner, and the size can be reduced due to the wavelength shortening effect. Further, since the ceramic plate 5 is easily cut, screws 6 and 9 are used when fixing the ceramic plate 5 to the outer conductor chassis 1 and when fixing the transmission line conductor 8 on the ceramic plate 5, respectively. A fixed structure can be adopted, and manufacture and assembly can be easily performed.
