A high-frequency signal combiner comprises at least one first bridge coupler (″) for the transformation of two input-end, first high-frequency signals (IN, IN, IN, IN) into at least two output-end, first high-frequency signals (OUT, OUT, OUT, OUT), in each case with identical power, and a second bridge coupler (′) for the transformation of four input-end, second high-frequency signals (IN, IN, IN, IN), in each case with identical power, into an output-end, second high-frequency signal (OUT), of which the power corresponds to the summated power of the four input-end, second high-frequency signals (IN, IN, IN, IN). In this context, the four input-end, second high-frequency signals (IN, IN, IN, IN) are each supplied from one output-end, first high-frequency signal (OUT, OUT, OUT, OUT). In order to add an integer multiple of four high-frequency signals, a cascade of second bridge couplers (′) is realised with a number of cascade stages corresponding to the integer multiple, whereas, in every cascade stage, every second bridge coupler (′) of the preceding cascade stage is replaced respectively by four second bridge couplers (′). 1. A high-frequency signal combiner , comprising:at least one first bridge coupler for the transformation of two input-end, first high-frequency signals into at least two output-end, first high-frequency signals, in each case with at least approximately identical power,wherein, in order to add an integer multiple of four output-end, first high-frequency signals, a cascade of second bridge couplers with a number of cascade stages corresponding to the integer multiple is present, andwherein, in every cascade stage, every bridge branch of the second bridge coupler of the preceding cascade stage forms respectively a second bridge coupler with respectively four connections, in each case for one output-end, first high-frequency signal.2. The high-frequency signal combiner according to claim 1 , wherein the second bridge couplers are used for the ...
