Abstract: A broadband power splitter can include an input port, a first output port and a second output port. The power splitter can further include a first signal path implemented between the input port and the first output port, and a second signal path implemented between the input port and the second output port. Each of the first and second signal paths can include a variable capacitance configured to provide a plurality of capacitance values that result in different frequency responses of the respective signal path.
