Abstract
Disclosed herein is an N-way, broad band planar power divider/combiner circuit for dividing or combining RF signals which includes a tapered strip of electrically conductive material having a plurality of conductor fingers which define a plurality of ports at the wide end of the taper, and having a narrow end which defines single port. The tapered metal strip is mounted onto a dielectric slab, and isolation resistors connect adjacent fingers. A single RF signal can be fed into the single port which will be divided into a plurality of signals of equi-amplitude and equi-phase. Conversely, a plurality of RF signals can be fed into the ports at the wide end which will be combined into a single signal.
