Abstract

A 0.degree. and 180.degree. hybrid power divider/combiner includes a first quadrature hybrid and two other quadrature hybrids arranged in tandem with one output port of the first hybrid connected to an input port of the tandem arrangement and the other output port thereof connected to a delay of electrical length equal to that of the tandem arrangement. When an input signal is applied to one input port of the first hybrid with the other port terminated, two signals of reduced amplitude which are either in phase or of opposed phase (dependent on which input port receives the input signal) are produced at the output of the tandem arrangement and delay.
