Power Divider for Harmonically Rich Waveforms

A power divider divides an RF signal into two output signals having a phase difference of 180° or a multiple thereof. When the RF signal is a square wave or another harmonically rich signal. the phases of the fundamental and the harmonics have the proper relationship. The divider can be implemented in the form of rnicrostrips on a board, with one of the output microstrips having several bends to provide a different electrical length from the other.
