Magic Tees are devices with four identical guides comprising an E and H plane junction with a common plane of symmetry.
A wave incident at the H-plane port divides equally between the symmetric ports. A wave incident at the E-plane port produces equal amplitude out-of-phase waves at the two symmetric ports. In-phase or out-of-phase waves at the symmetric ports recombine at the E and H-plane ports.
These devices can be used as 3dB power combiners, 3dB power dividers, or as phase combiners. One Magic Tee is a 2-way combiner, and multiple Magic Tees can be joined to form 4, 8 and higher order combiners.
