Most books don't warn you of this, but splitters only offer high port
isolation when perfectly terminated. They are nothing but bridge
circuits, and anything that upsets bridge balance (at least one port
is always part of the system that sets bridge balance) upsets
isolation.
If you want 40 dB of isolation into varying loads or source
impedances, you need to use a lossy pad splitter and an amplifier
system. But in general receivers are not isolation critical, so a
simple cheap magic T splitter works just fine.
