The hybrid junction includes four electrically conductive planar windings , circular or rectangular, arranged so as to lie along an imaginary spherica l or cylindrical surface. Each of the four electrically conductive windings is rotated from adjacent windings by about forty- five degrees. The four ele ctrically conductive windings are electrically insulated from each other and each include a respective signal port. The hybrid junction automatically sp lits and/or sorts signals. Signals applied to any port will split equally be tween the opposite port pairs. One output signal will be in-phase with the i nput signal, and the other output signal will be shifted by 0 or 180 degrees from the input signal. The input signal is split equally, output coupling m ay be half power or loose, and there is isolation between the output ports. The hybrid junction operates over a broad bandwidth.
