摘要: A six-port consisting of a matched reciprocal Iossless five-port in series with perfect directional coupler is shown to have ideal properties according the theory developed by Engen. The q points are separated 120° on common circle. itself function as four-way divider network and bears an interesting analogy nonreciprocal three-port (circulator). This used design several styles symmetrical stripline five-ports for use making measurements.
