Abstract
A multiple-stage splitter/combiner circuit includes first and second splitter/combiner circuits coupled together. The first splitter/combiner circuit has first, second, and third input/output (I/O) ports, a first quarter wave line with a first end coupled to the first I/O port and a second end coupled to the second I/O port, a second quarter wave line with a first end coupled to the first I/O port and a second end coupled to the third I/O port, and a first resistor with first and second terminals coupled to the second and third I/O ports, respectively. The second splitter/combiner circuit has fourth, fifth, and sixth I/O ports, and a ring of multiple quarter wave lines, which includes third and fourth quarter wave lines. The third and fourth quarter wave lines each extend from the fourth I/O port in different directions from each other to the fifth and sixth I/O ports, respectively.
