Abstract

A power divider/combiner which can be installed flexibly, with small changes either as a divider/combiner or as a lossless transmission line. The configuration of the power divider/combiner into a lossless transmission line is realized by a parallel connection of two non-symmetrical transmission lines which usually have different impedances. One of the transmission lines is a branch present in a Wilkinson divider, and the other is an extra branch formed inside the divider/combiner.
