Lossless load-proportioning circuit including a plurality of channels

Claim 1

A LOAD-PROPORTIONING AUXILIARY POWER AMPLIFYING CIRCUIT FOR INSERTION BETWEEN A FIRST POWER AMPLIFIER AND A LOAD REQUIRING GREATER POWER HANDLING CAPACITY THAN SAID FIRST POWER AMPLIFIER IS CAPABLE OF PROVIDING IN ORDER TO PROPORTION THE REQUIREMENTS OF SAID LOAD BETWEEN SAID FIRST POWER AMPLIFIER AND SAID AUXILIARY POWER AMPLIFYING CIRCUIT WITHOUT A NEED FOR INTERNAL ACCESS OR MODIFICATION TO SAID FIRST POWER AMPLIFIER COMPRISING: AN ELECTRON CONDUCTION CONTROLLING MEANS HAVING A CONTROL ELECTRODE COUPLED TO SAID FIRST POWER AMPLIFIER FOR RECEIVING THEREFROM A SIGNAL TO BE AMPLIFIED, A COLLECTING ELECTRODE COUPLED TO A SOURCE OF POSITIVE DIRECT CURRENT POTENTIAL, AND AN EMITTING ELECTRODE; A LOAD-PROPORTIONING, TRANSFORMING MEANS HAVING A SINGLE CONTINUOUS WINDING UPON A METALLIC CORE TO PROVIDE MUTUAL INDUCTANCE AMONG THE TURNS THEREOF, SAID CONTINUOUS WINDING HAVING A FIRST END TERMINAL COUPLED TO SAID CONTROL ELECTRODE AND HAVING THE OTHER END TERMINAL COUPLED TO SAID EMITTING ELECTRODE, SAID SINGLE CONTINUOUS WINDING BEING DIVIDED INTO FIRST AND SECOND SEGMENTS BY THE LOCATION OF A TERMINAL MEANS THEREON INTERMEDIATE OF SAID FIRST END TERMINAL AND SAID OTHER END TERMINAL, THE LOCATION OF SAID TERMINAL MEANS BEING ADJUSTABLE TO VARY THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE NUMBER OF TURNS IN SAID FIRST SEGMENT WITH RESPECT TO SAID SECOND SEGMENT IN ORDER TO PROPORTION THE REQUIRED LOAD POWER BETWEEN SAID FIRST POWER AMPLIFIER AND SAID ELECTRON CONDUCTION CONTROLLING MEANS IN THE MOST EFFICIENT MANNER; AND A CONDUCTOR MEANS HAVING ONE END COUPLED TO SAID TERMINAL MEANS AND THE OTHER END COUPLED TO SAID LOAD FOR PROVIDING THE NECESSARY POWER THERETO.
