OVERVIEW:
Passive circuit that splits an input signal into two equal phase output signals, or combines
two equal-phase signals into one in the opposite direction[1].
P2 0
1
= 0 0
P1 2 0 0
P3
Passive, Reciprocal and 3 Ports Matched.
Lossy when signals from P2 and P3 are different.

If the signals introduced in P2 and P3 are not in phase, the Wilkinson Divider fails to
isolate both ports. The next simulation uses ideal couplers to compare both situations.
