Abstract:
1. An RF power divider circuit for unequally dividing an input signal into first and second signal components of unequal power, comprising: a single input port; first and second output ports; a termination port, wherein the first and second output ports are separate and distinct from said termination port; a combination of a plurality of quarter wave transformers and a plurality of resistors coupled between said input port, said termination port and said first and second output ports, said plurality of quarter wave transformers comprising a dielectric substrate and a conductor strip pattern formed on the dielectric substrate, wherein said combination of a plurality of quarter wave transformers and a plurality of resistors comprises: a termination resistor connected between said termination port and ground, wherein an input signal at said input port propagates through said power divider circuit and said is divided into the first and second signal components at said first and second output ports and a termination signal component through said termination resistor.
