Patent ID: 8368485

Claim:
A radio-frequency divider, comprising: an input port; two output ports, separated by a generally rectangular bridge bar having a width selected to match the impedance of one or more devices to be connected to the two output ports and a length selected to provide a separation between the two output ports of approximately one quarter wavelength at a center point of an operational frequency of the one or more devices; a generally tapering, uniformly filled microstrip section having a relatively thinner end and a relatively wider end, the relatively thinner end connected to the input port and the relatively wider end connected along a part of the length of the bridge bar, the generally tapering microstrip section providing a separation between the input port and each of the two output ports of approximately one quarter wavelength at the center point; and a substantially rectangular input choke joint provides an RF choke at the center point of the operational frequency of the one or more devices, the input choke joint positioned near the input port and the generally tapering microstrip section.
