Abstract

The present invention relates to a divider network for dividing an HF signal into n output signals of the same power and phase at the same impedance as the input, where n is a positive integer greater than 1. Each of the n signals is fed to an output port. Each of the output ports has associated therewith a transformer. Each of the ports is connected to ground via at least one winding of the transformer. Each of the ports is connected to a common point by a winding of the transformer so that each transformer is connected in parallel with respect to the common point. The HF signal is fed to the divider via an input port. The input port is connected to the common point so that the path length between the input port and each of the output ports is substantially equal.
