Differential power divider/combiner with crossing positive and negative portions

A differential Wilkinson power divider, comprising:

• an input shunt capacitor between a positive input terminal and a negative input terminal;
• a first isolation capacitor between a first positive output terminal and a second positive output terminal;
• and
• a second isolation capacitor between a first negative output terminal and a second negative output terminal,
• wherein the first positive output terminal and the second positive output terminal are connected to a first trace in a first plane, and the first negative output terminal and the second negative output terminal are connected to a second trace in a second plane spaced apart from the first plane.

A differential Wilkinson power divider, comprising:

• a positive trace comprising a first positive portion and a second positive portion;
• and
• a negative trace comprising a first negative portion and a second negative portion,
• wherein the first positive portion of the positive trace crosses the first negative portion of the negative trace, and the second positive portion of the positive trace crosses the second negative portion of the negative trace.
