1. An electromagnetic splitting coupler for receiving a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) signal input and emitting a transverse electric mode ten (TE10) signal output, said coupler comprising:
a receiver port that provides the TEM signal input;
a plurality of emitter ports that impart the TE10 signal output;
a hollow manifold that includes a chamber to connect said receiver port to said plurality of emitter ports; and
a back plate that seals said hollow manifold, said back plate having an access flange.
