Hi All,
Rick I have to agree with you up to a point. Your 9 circle and other 8
circle receiving arrays except mine are on wide footprints and only use 4
active antennas at a time. All of my antennas are reduced footprint antenna
arrays which require much more phasing accuracy for optimum per
Ham radio literature often IMHO misuses the term
"magic tee" to refer to a transformer-based
0 degree hybrid combiner/splitter.
AFAIK, a magic tee is a WAVEGUIDE device as explained here:
