Multiport power divider-combiner

摘要

An electrical energy transport arrangement has an arcuate boundary region of substantially constant radius. A first port is disposed substantially at the center of the curvature of the arcurate boundary region and lies at the boundary of the transport arrangement and in electrical communication with it. A plurality of second ports are disposed around the arcuate boundary region and in electrical communication with it. A preferred embodiment provides a purely planar configuration, which may optionally provide balanced phase and amplitude outputs. In other preferred embodiments, there are provided unequal amplitude outputs.
