Abstract:
1. A divider comprising: first, second, and third nodes; at least a first divider section coupling the first node to the second and third nodes, the first divider section including associated first and second transmission lines, the first transmission line including a first conductor having first and second ends, the second transmission line including a second conductor having first and second ends, the first ends of the first and second conductors being directly connected to the first node, the second end of the first conductor being connected to the second node, and the second end of the second conductor being connected to the third node; and a first bridging assembly including first and second resistors, and third, fourth, fifth, and sixth conductors each having first and second ends, the first end of the third conductor being directly connected to the second end of the first conductor, the first end of the fourth conductor being directly connected to the second end of the second conductor, the first end of the fifth conductor being directly connected to the first end of the sixth conductor, the second ends of the third and fourth conductors being grounded, the second end of the fifth conductor being terminated to ground by the first resistor, the second end of the sixth conductor being terminated to ground by the second resistor, the third and fifth conductors being closely inductively mutually coupled, and the fourth and sixth conductors being closely inductively mutually coupled.
