Description
Summary:[...]every path has equal loss and an input at any port will distribute the signal equally to every other port. Long the choice for use in the distribution of signals in some antenna arrays, they also find homes in coax-based in-building systems such as legacy distributed antenna systems (DASs). [...]reactive power dividers are efficient, cover reasonably wide bandwidths, handle high RF power levels, and can be fabricated using waveguide, stripline, microstrip, transformers, and other technologies. [...]the resistor will draw no current and thus add very little loss (ideally none, but this is not an ideal world).
