A RF interchange includes a first differential transmission line extending between a first port and a first feed-through port. The interchange includes a second differential transmission line extending parallel to the first differential transmission line, between a second port and a second feed-through port. The interchange includes a third differential transmission line extending across the first differential transmission line and the second differential transmission line toward a first distribution/combination port. The interchange includes a first crossing section in which traces of the first differential transmission line and traces of the third differential transmission line are canted to form coupling regions in which positive traces extend in parallel and overlap, and in which negative traces extend in parallel and overlap, wherein the first crossing section is configured, when a first signal propagates on the first differential transmission line, to couple the first signal onto the third differential transmission line.
