Abstract
Abstract A stripline power divider is disclosed wherein three center conductors are joined at a common junction and the ground planes have slots formed therein adjacent to the common junction. Reflections resulting from mismatched impedances terminating a pair of the center conductors radiate through the slots. A load material is disposed over the slots to absorb any such radiating reflections.
