Hello, John, and that link does not cover 0-90 degree (quadrature) hybrids
which I'm guessing is what Bindy is after. A commercially-available
broadband quadrature combiner/splitter is usually implemented using a 0-0
or 0-180 hybrid to which an all-pass network is added to achieve the
desired phase difference out the output ports of the hybrid. Getting
these devices to behave properly over a broad frequency range is somewhat
of a black art and vendors such as Mini-Circuits and Merrimac keep these
techniques to themselves. Sincerely, and 73s from N4GG0,
