SIGNAL POWER SPLITTER/COMBINER WITH RESISTANCE AND IMPEDANCE TRANSFORMER LOADING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17392005 titled 'SIGNAL POWER SPLITTER/COMBINER WITH RESISTANCE AND IMPEDANCE TRANSFORMER LOADING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a signal power splitter/combiner that includes various components such as signal ports, resistors, impedance transformers, and intermediate nodes.

  • The signal power splitter/combiner has a first signal port and three other signal ports.
  • It includes resistors and impedance transformers to control the flow of signals between the ports.
  • The second and third signal ports are connected to the first signal port through impedance transformers and intermediate nodes.
  • A second resistor is connected between the second and third signal ports.
  • Additional impedance transformers are included between the second impedance transformer and the second signal port, and between the third impedance transformer and the third signal port.
  • A third resistor is connected to a third intermediate node.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Telecommunications systems
  • Radio frequency (RF) signal processing
  • Wireless communication networks

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficiently splitting and combining signal power between multiple ports
  • Maintaining signal integrity and minimizing signal loss

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved signal transmission and reception
  • Enhanced network performance and reliability
  • Simplified design and implementation of signal power splitting and combining systems


Original Abstract Submitted

An aspect relates to a signal power splitter/combiner including a first signal port; a first resistor; a first impedance transformer coupled in series with the first resistor between the first signal port and a first intermediate node; a second impedance transformer coupled between the first intermediate node and a second signal port; a third impedance transformer coupled between the first intermediate node and a third signal port; and a second resistor coupled between the second and third signal ports. The signal power splitter/combiner may further include a fourth impedance transformer coupled between the second impedance transformer and the second signal port, a fifth impedance transformer coupled between the third impedance transformer and the third signal port; and a third resistor coupled between a third intermediate nod.
