Newbie level 4
RF 2x1 power combiner
Does anyone know of a power combiner type that can combine two signals with same frequency but different phase? Wilkinson's can do it but they have up to an additional 3dB loss for out of phase signals which I am trying to avoid. Now let me add some additional constraints.
Ideally - just microstrip lines and octave bandwidth (10-20 GHz)
Can't have - active components
Don't want - resistors, caps, etc.
I also want a couple million bucks but I realize I can't have eveything so any ideas are welcome.
Thanks
Jim
