Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) signal combiner/splitter may include a printed circuit board (PCB) having first and second opposing major surfaces, and openings therethrough. The RF signal combiner/splitter may further include a ferromagnetic body. The ferromagnetic body may include a first portion spaced from the first major surface of the PCB, a second portion spaced from the second major surface of the PCB, and interconnecting portions coupling the first and second portions and extending through respective openings in the PCB. The PCB may include conductive traces cooperating with the ferromagnetic body to define circuitry for combining/splitting RF signals. For example, the PCB may further comprise additional conductive traces cooperating with the ferromagnetic body to define impedance matching circuitry coupled to the circuitry for combining/splitting RF signals.
