Abstract
Broadband RF circuits in which multiple circuit elements are interconnected by microstrips arranged in regular patterns on printed circuit boards have the microstrips laid out in randomly meandering paths such that adjacent paths are non-parallel and non-symmetrical about a common axis, to increase the isolation between adjacent signal paths in broadband splitters, combiners, routers, switching systems and control systems operating up to the GHz frequency range.
