The invention provides a power sharing amplifier system having an N by N transform matrix circuit, N amplifiers and an N by N inverse transform matrix circuit. The N by N transform matrix circuit has N input ports that respond to M input signals and provide N transform matrix input signals, where M is less than N. The N by N transform matrix circuit features at least one input port that does not receive an input signal but instead is coupled to ground. The N amplifiers respond to the transform matrix input signals and provide N amplified transform matrix input signals. The N by N inverse transform matrix circuit responds to the N amplified transform matrix input signals and provides N inverse transform matrix amplified output signals to output ports. Moreover, the N by N inverse transform matrix circuit features at least one output dissipation port that is coupled to ground to dissipate the intermodulation products contain thereon. In the power sharing amplifier system of the present invention, M and N are integers greater than 1 and 2 respectively, M is less than N, M is not equal to 6, and N is not equal to 8.
