<p>A three-way oscillator signal power splitting circuit splits power provided at the output of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) (112). The circuit is implemented on a printed circuit board section (120) having a first layer (218) which includes a first conductor (122) for receiving the power from the VCO (112), a second layer (220) having a second conductor (126), substantially parallel to and adjacent the first conductor (122), for receiving a portion of the power on the first main conductor (124) via broadside coupling, and a third conductor, situated substantially parallel to and adjacent the first and second conductors, for receiving a portion of the power on the first main conductor (124) also via broadside coupling. A ground conductor (212) is additionally included on the third layer (220) for providing a ground reference for the first, second and third conductors, and resistors (128, 130) are used to terminate the second (126) and third conductors (124).</p> |
