Also, to keep impedances correct, the splitter will likely either have to
be lossy, or active.

google "Wilkinson" "hybrid power divider" and "IRE Transactions" before
saying stuff like this.

What's the matter?

To divide the antenna power to several receivers
always means some loss to a single receiver. In
an ideal case, a passive divider to two branches
will show a loss of 3 dB to both branches, and
this means no power loss in the divider.

An active divider can compensate for the losses
with an amplifier.

The division losses always exceed zero if the
impedances are not properly matched, which will
show more than 3 dB in divide to two.
