1. A waveguide power combiner/divider for operation at a selected wavelength, comprising:

  • a plurality of hollow waveguides having a hollow core configured to support at least one radiation mode therein, the waveguides having first and second ends with the second ends in communication with one another to permit communication of radiation modes therebetween;

    a plurality of transmission line waveguides having a center conductor transmission line disposed therein, each of the transmission line waveguides having an electromagnetic end launcher operably connected to respective first ends of the hollow waveguides, each electromagnetic end launcher having an elongated center conductor end portion that extends into the hollow core of the hollow waveguide; and

    a plurality of ground posts each disposed at a respective end launcher in electrical communication with the center conductor and a wall of the hollow waveguide, respectively, to ground the end launcher to the hollow waveguide wall.
