Abstract
A broad-band lumped element ring hybrid is comprised of a .pi. equivalent of a transmission line which is coupled to an electric ground through either a plurality of capacitors or plurality of inductors. The plurality of capacitors which are coupled to ground are coupled together with an inductor, while the plurality of inductors which are coupled to ground are coupled together with a capacitor. A plurality of tank circuits are coupled to the .pi. equivalent to broaden the bandwidth of the ring hybrid. Each tank circuit comprises an inductor and a capacitor.
Claims4
