Microwave Applications of the Bridged T

With the advent of microwave integrated circuits many circuits which have been discarded in the early days of microwave theory and techniques are finding new applications. The bridged-T has been used for years in low frequency applications as attenuators. It actually is a much more general network and possesses some features which have not been utilized. Figure 1 shows a typical bridged T with a generator and load at Z _o.
