POWER DIVIDER FOR SPACECRAFT ONBOARD HARDWARE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC H01P5/18 B64G1/22 

FIELD: radio engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to microwave radio engineering. Power divider comprises four directional couplers on coupled lines. Adjacent directional couplers are perpendicular to each other, so conductors of these directional couplers coupled lines form sides of two squares, the first of which is located inside the second one. Directional couplers on coupled lines are made three-decibel. Conductors of the coupled lines of each directional coupler are intercrossed so, that their ends are located on sides of the first and the second squares. Ends of the conductors arranged on adjacent sides of the inner square are interconnected. Ends of the conductors arranged on opposite sides of the second square are the inputs and the outputs, respectively. Divider can be made as per 4x4 or 3x4, 3x3, 4x2 circuits. Divider is made so, that power of signals at the ends of the coupled lines conductors makes one fourth of the input power.

EFFECT: technical result is increased efficiency of power distribution into the matched load.
