Broad band hybrid signal splitter

A signal-splitter for coupling an hf, vhf or uhf source to a pair of loads that have a predetermined impedance, comprising:

• first and second tubular cores disposed radially side by side;
• first and second wire toroidal windings formed on the first core each including at least one turn and having a first end and a second end;
• third and fourth wire toroidal windings wound on the second core each including at least one turn and having a first end and a second end;
• the second end of the first winding being twisted together with the second end of the third winding to form a first twisted connection;
• the first end of the second winding being twisted together with the first end of the fourth winding to form a second twisted connection;
• a signal input terminal for connecting the first end of the first winding to a signal input source;
• a signal ground coupled to the second end of the second winding;
• first and second signal outputs for respectively coupling the first end of the third and second end of the fourth winding to respective output loads;
• and
• a printed circuit board that includes a pair of spaced through holes and a printed conductor thereon extending between them;
• said first and second twisted connections passing through said holes to secure the cores and windings to the board and being electrically connected with said printed conductor.
