AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on recreating a dividing network based on a photo, with a focus on the angled branches and triangular transformers. It suggests that the network operates sixteen devices in parallel, with the input split into sixteen paths before recombination. The tapered transformers are likely λ/4 in length, determined by the PCB's velocity factor, and their width influences the input and output impedance. Additionally, the design incorporates a 90° separation between lines to minimize magnetic coupling. Understanding these aspects is crucial for effectively reverse engineering the structure.

Hello , I need to recreate the following dividing network .
I only have photo.
the branches are angled and the transformers are triangles ,why is that?.
could you share some impedance logic that could fit the structure below?
Is there some theory regarding this structure?
Thanks.

Where does the photo come from, what is the equipment?

That looks like sixteen devices are to be operated in parallel. The input is divided into sixteen parallel paths, then recombined to form the output.

The length of the tapered (triangular) transformers will almost certainly be λ/4, at the velocity factor of the PCB. The width of the taper, at its ends, will set the input and output impedance.

The two lines involved in each divider or combiner, separate at 90°, in order to avoid magnetic coupling between the two branches.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
