A new broadband in-phase power divider based on multilayer technology is presented. A simple design procedure is developed for the proposed multilayer power divider. An S-band four-way multilayer power divider was designed and measured. The simulated results are compared with the measured data, and good agreement is reported. The measured 15 dB return loss bandwidth is demonstrated to be about ...

Abstract—A compact dual-band power divider for GSM/DCS applications is proposed in this letter. Novel planar artificial transmission lines are applied to miniaturize the power divider and achieve wideband response. The proposed dual-band power divider is about 37% of conventional one. The design principle, simulated and measured results are all discussed. The measured results show that good per...

Background and Objectives: In this paper, a new design strategy was proposed in order to enhance bandwidth and efficiency of power amplifier. Methods: To realize the introduced design strategy, a power amplifier was designed using TSMC CMOS 0.18um technology for operating in the Ka band, i.e. the frequency range of 26.5-40GHz. To design the power amplifier, first a power divider (PD) with a ver...

In this paper, we present a new design of a compact tri-band unequal power divider, which is composed of a circularcoupling power divider and a triple-band resonator. The unequal power dividing characteristic is realized by two circular shaped microstrip lines coupled through a circular shaped slot. The triple-band resonator, which comprises a conventional half-wavelength resonator, a short stu...

This paper proposes a multiway power divider for wideband (4:1) beamforming arrays. The divider’s input reflection characteristic (S11) is achieved using a multisection stepped-impedance transformer. Moreover, the divider’s isolation (S32) bandwidth is increased by incorporating inductors and capacitors in addition to the conventional resistor only isolation networks of the divider. The analysi...

Abstract—In this paper, a general design of an equal-split N-way power divider, similar to Bagley polygon power divider, but with an even number of output ports is proposed. A circular-shaped 4way divider is designed and simulated using two different full-wave simulators. Very good matching at the input port is achieved, and good transmission parameters are obtained. After that, the same circul...

An ultra-wideband unequal-split Wilkinson power divider with a 2:1 split ratio is presented. To achieve the ultra-wideband characteristics, the conventional quarter-wave arms of the divider are replaced by tapered lines. Moreover, two extra tapered transformers are incorporated at the output ports for matching purposes as the designed divider is of an unequal-split type. To obtain good isolatio...

In this paper, a design of an unequal split Wilkinson power divider (WPD), with high power split ratio, using non-uniform transmission lines (NTLs) is presented. The design is based on using NTLs in each branch of the divider instead of the conventional uniform ones. Besides the achievement of high power split ratio, the size of the designed WPD is reduced. The design procedure is presented for...

This paper is focused on how to implement a nonlinear voltage divider used in the electrical power network disturbances measurement system preconditioning circuit. The voltages acquired from the electrical power network have amplitudes between 0.2 kV and 10 kV, values which are very high for an acquisition board. These amplitudes must be reduced to the values accepted by the acquisition boards:...

─ In this paper, a novel microstrip power divider with a new technique for nth harmonic suppression is presented. This technique is based on using front coupled tapered compact microstrip resonant cell (FCTCMRC) that inserted into a quarter-wavelength transmission line of the conventional Wilkinson power divider. This cell is used to obtain high harmonic suppression. The proposed power divider ...
