Patent ID: 10819306

Abstract:
A multiport microwave device includes a first reactive three-port microwave device, a second reactive three-port microwave device, a third reactive three-port microwave device, and a matched four-port microwave device. The four-port microwave device includes first and second input ports and first and second output ports communicatively coupled to one another. A first port of each of the first, second and third three-port microwave devices is operative to receive a microwave signal, and a first output port and a second output port of the four-port microwave device are each operative to output a microwave signal. A second port of the first microwave device is communicatively coupled to a second port of the second microwave device, a second port of the third microwave device is communicatively coupled to a third port of the second microwave device, and a third port of the first microwave device is communicatively coupled to the first input port the four-port microwave device. A third port of the third microwave device is communicatively coupled to the second input port of the four-port microwave device.
