1. A power splitter, comprising:
a first LC branch connected between a first port and a second port;
a second LC branch connected between the first port and a third port;
a termination resistor connected between the second port and the third port;
a first port capacitor coupled between a reference ground and the first port; and
a second port capacitor in series connection with a third port capacitor, the second port capacitor coupled to the second port and the third port capacitor coupled to the third port,
wherein the first and the second LC branches comprise respective first and second inductors, and
wherein the first inductor and the second inductor are inductively coupled according to a predefined nonzero coupling factor.
