Abstract

An in-phase power divider is constructed of a double field-effect transistor having a common source, first and second gates and first and second drains. The gates are coupled together and adapted to receive a radio frequency signal of power P to be power divided. The power divided output signals each at substantially P.div.2 or more appear at the drains. An alternative power divider for producing unequal power division is constructed of a double dual gate FET having, in addition to the above-mentioned elements, third and fourth gates. By appropriate unequal application of gate bias to the additional gates unequal power division is effected.
