Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a circuit for dividing or combining power. The circuit generally includes a Wilkinson power divider, a first capacitive element, and a first resistive element coupled in parallel with the first capacitive element, wherein the first capacitive element and the first resistive element are coupled between a first port of the circuit and a first port of the Wilkinson power divider.
Claims21
A circuit for dividing or combining power, comprising:
- a Wilkinson power divider;
- a first resistive element having a first terminal coupled to a first port of the circuit and a second terminal coupled to a first port of the Wilkinson power divider;
- and
- a first bypass path coupled between the first terminal and the second terminal of the first resistive element and configured to selectively bypass the first resistive element, wherein the first resistive element and the first bypass path form a parallel circuit that is coupled between the first port of the circuit and the first port of the Wilkinson power divider, the circuit being configured to divide or combine a power of a first signal at the first port of the circuit.
