ABSTRACT:
A broad band microwave stripline magic tee designed for a center microwave frequency is disclosed. The magic tee includes a pair of 3db quadrature couplers connected in tandem to one another through a 90.degree. differential phase shift circuit. Each of the 3db quadrature couplers includes a first port, a second port, a third port and a fourth port. The 90.degree. differential phase shift circuit includes first and second conductors therein having apparent electrical lengths that differ from one another by 270.degree. at the microwave center frequency. The second port of the first coupler is serially connected through the first conductor of the phase shift circuit to the first port of the second coupler, and the third port of the first coupler is serially connected through the second conductor of the phase shift circuit to the fourth port of the second coupler. The first and fourth ports of the first coupler, and the second and third ports of the second coupler, serve as respective pairs of input and output ports of the magic tee, so that the application of a microwave input signal to one of the input ports results in output signals at the output ports that are of substantially equally amplitude and substantially in phase with one another, and the application of a microwave input signal to the other of the input ports results in output signals at the output ports that are of substantially equal amplitude and substantially 180.degree. out of phase with one another. The magic tee has left-to-right symmetry so that the roles of the input and output ports can be reversed.
