Claim Text:
1. A signal splitter comprising: an input port; a first output port; a second output port; a signal transmission path, wherein the signal transmission path conducts signals between the first and the second output port; and a coupled transmission line element coupled to the signal transmission path, wherein the coupled transmission line element comprises: a first elongate electrical conductor comprising: a first elongate electrical conductor first end coupled to the signal transmission path; a first elongate electrical conductor second end, wherein the first elongate electrical conductor second end is un-terminated; and a first elongate electrical conductor length extending between the first elongate electrical conductor first end and the first elongate electrical conductor second end; and a second elongate electrical conductor comprising: a second elongate electrical conductor first end coupled to the signal transmission path; a second elongate electrical conductor second end, wherein the second elongate electrical conductor second end is un-terminated; and a second elongate electrical conductor length extending between the second elongate electrical conductor first end and the second elongate electrical conductor second end; wherein the first elongate electrical conductor and the second elongate electrical conductor are not shorted together, and wherein the first elongate electrical conductor and the second elongate electrical conductor are electrostatically coupled.
