Broadband Small Size Low Insertion Loss Waveguide Power Dividers & Magic Tees

1. Unlike other power dividers or couplers, the E-plane port and H-plane port of the Magic T have relatively independent functions.
2. The H-plane port (also known as the summation port) is a in-phase port for two collinear ports, while the E-plane port is a 180 degree reverse port for these two ports.
3. The function of Magic T has symmetry, which distributes the energy entering the collinear port between the E-plane port and the H-plane port. From this, it can be seen that Magic T divides the signals entering the collinear port simultaneously, adds the segmented signals at the H-plane port, and subtracts the segmented signals at the E-plane port.
The above functions can only be fully realized under theoretical basis or ideal conditions. In practical operation, magic T with different matching degree, balance degree, and isolation degree has various limitations.
