Claim:
1. A power divider/combiner comprising: a main conductor defining an axis; an input connector having a center conductor, adapted to be coupled to a signal source, electrically coupled to the main conductor and having an axis aligned with the main conductor axis, and having a second conductor electrically coupled to a ground conductor; a plurality of satellite conductors radially exterior of and spaced apart from the main conductor, each satellite conductor being parallel to the main conductor axis, the satellite conductors defining the general shape of a slotted hollow cylinder having a cylinder axis along its length being coincident with the main conductor axis; a second ground conductor radially exterior of the satellite conductors; a plurality of output connectors having respective axes that are perpendicular to the main conductor axis, the output connectors being radially spaced apart relative to the main conductor, the output connectors having center conductors electrically coupled to respective satellite conductors and having respective second conductors electrically coupled to the second ground conductor; and a multiconductor transmission line, including the satellite conductors, the second ground conductor, and the main conductor, the second ground conductor and the main conductor being parallel to the main conductor axis.
