A 1:4 reciprocal compact E/H hybrid combiner-divider, includes at least one primary waveguide and two secondary waveguides forming a one-piece structure configured such that the primary guide has a first end forming an input/output port and a second end defining an aperture and that each secondary guide has two ends forming two input/output ports, and a side aperture formed on one of the small side faces. The secondary guides are arranged so as to have a common side wall. They are arranged facing the primary waveguide such that the side apertures are situated facing the aperture formed by one of the ends of the primary waveguide and that the common wall is aligned with the central axis of the aperture of the primary waveguide.
A reciprocal compact E/H hybrid combiner-divider for coupling or splitting electromagnetic waves, comprising at least one primary waveguide and two secondary waveguides, the primary waveguide and the secondary waveguides each having a parallelepipedal structure of rectangular cross section with two ends;
An (MFB) beamforming array antenna, comprising a plurality of radiating sources combined into groups of four radiating sources, the reception paths and the transmission paths of the radiating sources belonging to one and the same group being connected, respectively, to the secondary ports of a combiner-divider whose primary port is connected to the reception path of a beam and to the secondary ports of a combiner-divider whose primary port is connected to the transmission path of the same beam.
